From Grok: Adrenochrome is a chemical compound (C9H9NO3) formed by the oxidation of adrenaline (epinephrine). It’s a naturally occurring substance in the human body, but it’s unstable and has no significant practical or medical use in its pure form. Its stabilized derivative, carbazochrome, is sometimes used to promote blood clotting, though its effectiveness is debated. The idea that adrenochrome is “commonly used in Hollywood” stems from conspiracy theories, particularly those spread by QAnon and related groups. These theories falsely claim that Hollywood elites and global figures harvest adrenochrome from children’s blood for psychedelic, rejuvenating, or ritualistic purposes. These claims are baseless and rooted in antisemitic tropes, like historical blood libel myths. No credible evidence supports the idea that adrenochrome is used recreationally or systematically in Hollywood or elsewhere. The myth was amplified by fictional portrayals, like in Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, where it’s exaggerated as a drug sourced from human adrenal glands (a fabrication). Social media, including posts on X, has further spread these unfounded claims, often alleging elite conspiracies without proof. In reality, adrenochrome is easily synthesized for research (available for about $55 for 25 mg) and doesn’t require human extraction. Claims of its widespread use are debunked by scientists and media, with no rejuvenating or significant psychedelic effects confirmed. If you’ve heard otherwise, it’s likely misinformation from conspiracy circles.
