What is Squalene?

Squalene is a natural compound in the triterpenoid compound class. It is the starting metabolite for synthesizing other triterpenoids and sterols in plants and animals. Squalene is typically sourced from nature but can also be produced from geranyl acetone.

Squalene has gained its major attraction thanks to the COVID-19 vaccine as it is used as an adjuvant. The primary purpose of squalene in vaccines is its increasing immune response to the vaccine itself promoting better protection.

Squalene is also used in cosmetics. Due to its fatty nature and biocompatibility, it can be a good additive to promote muisturizing effect.

There are also studies, that show that squalene can reduce levels of triglycerides, hence, promoting healthier weight regulation and reducing risks of atherosclerosis.
