Curved nail end and darkening Vitamin B12
Reddish-brown spots Folic acid, protein, vitamin C

Increase your intake of green leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli etc), which are good sources of calcium, folic acid and vitamin A.

A daily intake of citrus fruits and vegetables (green pepper, cabbage etc), which are rich in vitamin C are helpful if you are having reddish-brown spots on your nails.

Strong nails also need vitamin A that is mainly found in yellow or orange vegetables like carrots.

Biotin is also an essential nail-building material that is found in liver, meats, milk, egg yolk and most vegetables.

Donâ€™t forget to drink enough water (8 glasses a day) to keep your body and your nails completely hydrated.

Thank you Dr Anam
