Squalene is a lipid or fat produced naturally by human oil glands to moisturize and maintain the skin s barrier. While humans produce squalene naturally in their bodies, the content of squalene decreases dramatically after the age of 25. 

Squalene is utilized by the human system to create hormones, vitamin D, and cholesterol, and it also plays a part in a variety of other bodily functions. It is also used as a therapeutic component in the treatment of different types of cancer. It is used in anticancer drugs during chemotherapy sessions. Various research & development activities are underway focusing on the anti-cancer properties of squalene. However, no human trials have been conducted to verify its role in cancer therapy. 

With its antioxidant and anti-aging characteristics, squalene supplements can restore our skin, maintain cholesterol levels, and help treat inflammation. It provides cells with the oxygen they require for proper metabolism and energy production at the cellular level. Squalene supplements are also known to combat viruses, colds, and infections, thus, improving overall health and well-being.
