Description
- Functions in the skin as a quencher of singlet oxygen, protecting human skin surface from lipid peroxidation due to exposure to UV and other sources of ionizing radiation
- Supplementation in mice has resulted in marked increases in cellular and non-specific immune functions in a dose-dependent manner
- May act as a “sink” for highly lipophilic xenobiotics; since it is a nonpolar substance, it has a higher affinity for un-ionized drugs
- Supplementation can reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels; it might be a useful addition to potentiate the effects of some cholesterol-lowering drugs
- The primary therapeutic use of squalene currently is as an adjunctive therapy in a variety of cancers
