The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning against blood transfusions for youthful purposes in 2019. "There are no proven clinical benefits of infusion of plasma from young donors to cure, alleviate, treat or prevent aging. There are also risks associated with the use of any plasma product," the statement said.
"Without real evidence of the practice's effectiveness, it's not possible for scientists to make a cost-benefit calculation," says Leigh Turner, executive director of the bioethics program at the University of California Irvine Campus in the US. Although these claims are done, people still continue with their blood transmissions and all. "Side effects of blood transfusions include blood-borne infections, fever and allergic reactions," the article published in The Conversation states. Staying young is an obsession with many people especially within Hollywood, the names that do blood transmission transfer are huge.
