Adrenochrome is said to be a way for Hollywood artists to stay young. Adrenochrome for their 'expensive treatment' is claimed to be taken from the adrenaline of children. This conspiracy theory has been around for a long time, but has grown recently.
Some of the artists who are said to have used it are Avril Lavigne, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, to John Legend, but the original source of the gossip is never known so it seems that it cannot be completely trusted.
Adrenochrome (3-hydroxy-1-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-5,6-dione) can be produced by oxidizing the hormone adrenaline which is known to control animal fight-or-flight. Well, if the conspiracy theories are circulating, this is a little scary... because artists are believed to use adrenochrome from children. The process of taking the children's adrenaline is also called very cruel, the children are deliberately tortured.
This conspiracy theory is also related to the 'Pizzagate' conspiracy which is believed to be an underground activity to support pedophilia and violence against minors by force.
But launching IFL Science, actually, without involving children who must be victims, there are other ways to get adrenochrome. Synthesis can be done, besides being more humane, it is also cheaper if there are really bad people who force children to produce adrenochrome to stay young.
Per dose, synthetic adrenochrome is claimed to only cost a few cents. For Hollywood artists whose income is very large, if they are still in their right mind, they will definitely choose synthetic ones over committing crimes that if exposed could endanger their careers.
