These fine vertical lines that streak your nails may not be trivial. Often neglected, they can nevertheless reveal unsuspected internal imbalances. What if your body spoke to you through this little everyday detail?
Much more than simple aesthetic accessories, our nails are connected to vital functions such as blood circulation, the nervous system and even metabolism. Their appearance can thus betray imbalances that we do not notice elsewhere. Dehydration, temporary fatigue, but also deficiencies or chronic stress: these vertical streaks deserve our full attention.
A lack of iron which slows down oxygenation
Iron is essential for transporting oxygen in the blood via red blood cells. When reserves run out, nail growth can slow and streaks appear. Persistent fatigue, pale complexion, dizziness… so many signs that can accompany this deficit. Women with heavy periods or people who eat little meat are particularly exposed. A simple blood test allows you to check this parameter before considering supplementation.
