Young blood transfusion is the transfusion of blood from a young person into an older one with the intention of producing a health benefit. Its efficacy and safety for anti-aging purposes remain debated in the scientific community, with limited clinical evidence in humans; some preclinical animal studies suggest potential benefit, but there is no robust clinical evidence supporting its use in people, and in 2019 the United States Food and Drug Administration cautioned consumers against receiving young donor plasma infusions, describing them as an unproven treatment.
