Are milk white flecks seen on the fingernails due to lack of a vitamin? If so, which vitamin??
Answers: White spots aren't caused by a vitamin deficiency. They're caused by little injuries to the nail bed. They're a Bruise of sorts. And since the nail is slow to grow, they show up long past the time of the injury. :)
I had these marks for about 30 years. I was told it was a zinc defiency.
- NO, it's impact trama to the nail beds . . .
I have been told it's from lack of calcium. It might be a myth, but that's all I've heard. I have one now, but I drink lots of milk
Hallo there
I used to have them when I was a child and was always told it was because I wouldn't drink my milk - i.e. calcium deficiency.
However I've done a few searches and it seems it's more to do with lack of zinc unless you happen to be a pregnant woman, in which case it can be lack of calcium. It can also be the result of a knock to the nail.
The folllowing link has some really good info about all kinds of things that can show up in your nails, plus what you need to do to keep yourself and your nails healthy and information about products. In fact it's so good I've bookmarked it!

Good luck!
My mom used to tell us when we were little it was from telling ' white lies . One spot for every lie we told. LOL
Lori and Micro are correct. Those white flecks have nothing to do with vitamins. They're just bruises. Some people are just more susceptible than other. You just happen to be one of those people.
You may need a calicum supplement daily.
iron vitamins, take some.
