Semo Squalene

Squalene is a highly unsaturated hydrocarbon found in all living matters. Semo squalene is an essential part of the human body. A small amount is distributed throughout the whole body, particularly rich in sebum of which 12% is composed of squalene.
The Squalene in the human body is mostly manufactured in the liver to be used in the production of steroid hormones or bile acid. It also helps to supply oxygen to our bodies and stimulates the metabolism, rendering it to be a very valuable health food supplement. In addition, Squalene helps to increase vitality and to improve the general physical condition of the body.
Squalene can also be found in plant oils. Olive oil, for example, contains 0.8% squanene, and has been used widely for cooking and salad dressing. It has been reported that squalene made artificially or extracted from olive oil or from coastal shark does not have the health benefits that squalene extracted from liver oil of the deep-sea shark has. Therefore, we can easily see that SEMO Squalene is the only one with the virtue of true Squalene.

Semo squalene is an ideal health supplement for people who:

Want to maintain healthy skin

Need more energy in their daily lives

Want to turn their weak physical condition into a healthy one

Want to achieve an overall health for the better

The History of Squalene

The uses of sharks and/or sharks liver oil for health benefits are not new, but have been widely practiced throughout the world for a long time. An ancient Chinese medicine reference book, BonChoGangMok, often referred to as the 'Bible' of Chinese medicine, contained 2 pages of information on sharks and their health benefits. Through this we know that ancient Chinese people also had much interest in sharks, and used them for medical purposes. Squalene was discovered in 1906 by a Japanese marine oil chemist, Mitsumaru Tsumimoto. Paul Karrer, Ph. D, winner of a Nobel Prize, identified the molecular structure of squalene in 1935, which brought much interested in the substances in Japan, Europe and in North America. The West is no exception. The famous American novelist, Earnest Hemingway, wrote in his novel, THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA, '…but it (shark liver oil) was no worse than getting up at the hours that they rose and it was very good against all colds and grippes and it was good for the eyes…' This shows that since the olden days, shark liver oil was used efficiently even among the Caribbean fisherman.

What is the Significance of the Deep-Sea Shark?

The world below the sea of 500 - 1,000meters, is a very harsh place, uninhabitable by any form of life, whether vegetation, fish, or mammals. It is a very dark and cold place with temperature ranging from 2 - 4oC and almost no light. However, it is in this harsh and uninhabitable place, that mysterious deep-sea shark dwells. The deep-sea shark possesses tenacious vigor of life. When brought to the surface, this very unique fish has the ability to live awhile longer, enduring the change in pressure. This deep-sea shark has a unique U-shaped liver that is proportionally bigger than any other fish livers. About 80% of the liver weight are composed of oil, and approximately 90% of the liver oil are squalene. The liver accounts for over 25% of its body weight and is one and a half times its body length. It is believed that the squalene in the large liver is life-sustaining power responsible for the deep-sea shark's ability to survive in such harsh environment. What's more, not all deep sea sharks' livers contain the same amount and the superior quality of SEMO Squalene, While other types of sharks contain less squalene, SEMO takes pride in selecting what is called the 'Ai' shark in Japanese, which contains the highest amount of squalene. According to the deep-sea shark experts, among the deep-sea sharks, the 'Ai' shark, contains the most effective squalene. So it's not surprising t find that SEMO Squalene has attained its fame as being the best squalene. The deep-sea shark possessing enormous amount of squalene has an amazing ability to resist cancer and almost all-infectious diseases. Squalene has an effective antioxidant activity to protect normal cells from damages and mutation by free radicals, and a superior lipophilic property to melt and excrete such toxic chemicals as pesticides, polychlorinated / polycyclic hydrocarbons, and heavy metals accumulated in the body over the life time. In animal studies, squalene extracted from deep-sea shark liver oil exhibited strong anti-tumor activity by enhancing the tumor specific as well as non-specific immune function including phagocytic activity and delayed hypersensitivity reaction. The best of all, Semo squalene is safe to consume in large quantities for long time and, therefore, the best food supplement for good health.
