The chelation you are doing does remove minerals like zinc. Zinc would be the obvious cause, I think.

I don't know how much zinc you take on your "off" days but you might talk to your doctor about adjusting that dose, if this problem continues. My nails get weak when my zinc levels fall. White spots on your fingernails can be another sign of a zinc deficiency.
