Hello,
Yes, if there are white lines on your nails then usually it will be calcium or iron deficiency.
Kindly supplement calcium tablets to get rid of it. You can take one course of calcium without a prescription and no worries.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Archana
