i started takin some vitamins and noticed a white spot in my finernail?
normally my nails are clear and you can see the blood underneath the nail when you squeeze your finertips. i started taking some vitamins with hgh precursors and lots of chelated amino acids. now there is a small white spot in one of my nails that i cant see through. has anyone else had this happen?
normally you can see through the clear nail and see the blood inside the finger pool up in different corners as you squeeze the fingertip
The white in your nail is normal. The white dots that people sometimes get in their fingernails have a
medical name. It is "leuconychia" (pronounced loo-ko-nee-kee-a, also
spelled leukonychia).
The white dots come about as a result of damage to the fingernail as it
grows. Basically, if you hit your finger on something it can cause a
deformity (often called an "air bubble") in the fingernail. What it really
represents is an area where the material that makes up the fingernail
(called keratin) is not put together quite right (we say it is incompletely
keratinized). This deformity stays in the nail until it grows out and gets
cut off.
I get them all the time. This doesn’t cause any permanent
problems, but causes this white spot in your nail. The more you bump or
hit your fingernail, the more white spots you will get. But whether you
have one or many, they stay in your nail until it grows out.

Have you ever hit your nail on a hard object? That could be a reason rather than vitamins. Considering that one's nail is dead already, it can't have a growth. If you really want to figure out that my theory is true, (but don't really try it unless you really want to) go hit your nail on something hard, like a desk and it will get a white spot on it.

there are many things that can cause white spots, often if you are sick
