Squalene Squalene - Squapure

Squalene has long been used, especially in Japan, as a dietary supplement.

Order sample

It was a Japanese chemist, Mitsumaru Tsujimoto, who discovered it in 1906 and identified its structure in 1916. Its chemical formula is C30H50.It is considered an effective antioxidant, endowed with many virtues in natural medicines.

PROPERTIES

Squalene is a natural component of human sebum; sebum is an agent that protects the skin by forming a hydrolipidic film. Squalene is widely present in nature and especially in certain plants. But it is in shark liver oil that we find the highest concentration of Squalene from which it was originally extracted. To do this we use the oil of shark livers, not listed in CITES species, and from non-selective deep water fishing.

SOPHIM, a leader in the production of vegetable squalene, also offers marine squalene.

Coupled with adjuvants, stimulants of the immune system, squalene has been, and still is, used in some vaccines: in the form of an “oil-in-water” emulsion, it plays a surfactant role, thus increasing the response of the vaccine.
