with age I'm afraid.
if you have white spots on the nails, from minor bang-ups...this can indicate low zinc status.
Some people believe that low B12 makes the moons go away.
When I was hypothyroid, I started getting those long ridges.
They did not go away with fixing the thyroid however.
Ridges that go parallel to the moons and growth plate may show
stress events...trauma, surgery or malnutrition. The long vertical ridges are mostly thought to be due to age.
The color of the nail bed, the shape of the fingertips and presence of dark red lines in the nail bed or discolorations are more diagnostic of disease.
