A: Yes. In the wild, fish get Omega-3 fatty acids (the main nutrient in fish) from eating algae, either by eating smaller fish who eat algae or by eating it directly. In farm-raised fish, algae is added directly as a part of their feed.Sources: Mary Ellen Camire, PhD, CFS, University of Maine.: Yes.

In humans, nails grow at an average rate of 3 mm (0.12 in) a month. Fingernails require three to six months to regrow completely, and toenails require twelve to eighteen months. Actual growth rate is dependent upon age, sex, season, exercise level, diet, and hereditary factors.
Torn or Detached Nail Facts. 1  Fingernails and toenails, like hair, are composed of protein and fat and are not live tissue. 2  Nails grow a bit more than one-tenth of an inch per month and require three to six months to completely regrow. (Toenails grow more slowly than fingernails.) Nails are produced by the nail matrix cells that reside in the moon shaped whitish area (lunula) at the base of the nail.
