Abstract
Abstract

Squalene (SQ) is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon compound found abundantly in various sources, including shark liver, olive, and plant oils. SQ plays a pivotal role as a precursor molecule in humans and animals in synthesizing vitamins, cholesterol, and steroid hormones, maintaining healthy skin, and protecting against UV radiation-induced carcinogenesis. In the realm of medicine, SQ has emerged as a promising adjuvant in vaccines. Its role in enhancing immune responses has been studied extensively, contributing to the efficacy of influenza and COVID-19 vaccines. SQ has been confirmed to possess strong anti-tumor activity and inhibitory features against the development of cancer. Because of this, it is frequently used as a supplementary treatment for many forms of cancer. Intriguing and hopeful are the epidemiologic and laboratory studies looking into SQ's anti-cancer properties. Furthermore, SQ's stability during storage and technological processes adds to its appeal as a dietary supplement and functional ingredient in various food products. Additionally, as research progresses, the understanding of SQ's safety and efficacy continues to expand, providing a solid foundation for exploring its potential in various applications. This article study focuses on exploring the multifaceted uses of SQ in medicine, cosmetics, and nutrition.
