Does squalene take helps our body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Squalene: Squalene is a natural substance that is an intermediate compound in the formation of cholesterol. It is used topically to improve dry, scaly skin conditions, and, by some, as an adjunct to cholesterol-lowering drugs. It has been touted as possibly being effective, without good evidence, in some cancer treatments. Check with your doctor before embarking on a squalene regimen.
