What
is Squalene?
Squalene
is a single unsaturated branched hydrocarbon [C30H50], which occurs
in human tissue in small amounts, and also [0.1% to 0.7%] in olive
oil, wheat germ oil, rice bran oil and yeast.
The liver of
deep-sea sharks produces the most abundant source of squalene. These
sharks live at depths of between 1800 and 6000 feet. This environment,
in which most creatures would not stand a chance of living, is very
harsh and lacks oxygen. The secret of the deep-sea sharks survival
is the squalene that is contained in their huge liver, which occupies
almost 25% of its overall bodyweight.
Benefits
of Squalene
Ever
since the discovery of squalene by Dr. M. Tsujimoto in 1906 and
fixing of its chemical formula by Professor Calour, a Nobel Prize
winner at Zurich University in Switzerland in 1931, meticulous researches
on the importance of squalene have progressed rapidly. It has been
discovered that squalene treats the body by providing oxygen to
the cells and removed toxins from the body.

Generally
after 25 years of age, the content of squalene in the human body
decreases with aging. Supplemental squalene is therefore needed
for normal supply of oxygen and promotion of cell regeneration in
every part of the body to assist in preventing ailments and the
aging of organs.
