It helps in the production of certain hormones and aids in the maintenance of the health and structure of cell membranes. Squalene also exhibits antioxidant properties and has numerous other health benefits. In recent years, squalene has gained traction due to its wide employment in producing various vaccines as an adjuvant, which helps to enhance the immune response to the vaccine.
