My fingernails have ridges?!?

This past month, my fingernails have started to get ridges. In fact, some of the ridges cross with other and aren't parallel to each other. Why is this? Am I lacking some sort of vitamin or mineral?

Nail ridges are usually indicative of anemia. You should take some iron supplements (or a high iron diet), and B-complex vitamins.

A centrum multivitamin pill per day after a meal would take care of it.
