What Causes Dent In Finger Nail After Having Green Coffee Tablets?

I have recently started taking Garcinia Cambodia and green coffee tablets and today I noticed that one of my finger nail has a dent in it that goes from the base to the tip. What could be causing this? Could it be the herbs I started taking. Low zinc or low iron?

Hi.
As per your case history you are dent on nails due to iron deficiency.
It is not related to green coffee tablets.
My treatment advice is -
1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Take an iron supplement and vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
3. Other treatment options are injectable iron, injectable vitamin b12 given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
