Why Older People Are Using the Blood of Teenagers to Live Longer

For a whopping $8,000, the old and the wealthy can receive a blood transfusion from a teenager.

As of last fall, Ambrosia had already infused 120 clients with new blood since opening its doors in 2016.

Robin Williams knew of this.

Karmazin’s startup Ambrosia — Greek for “immortality” — is betting on the chance these early results might translate into a human anti-aging elixir. Since 2016, working with Dr. David Wright who runs an intravenous therapy clinic in Monterey, Ambrosia has been steadily pumping single doses of donor plasma to those willing to pay.

Ambrosia’s trial is controversial, to put it mildly. Its requirement for patients to pay, though legal, have struck many as ethically dicey. Some have even gone so far as to condemn the trial as a cash grab, similar to the boom of unauthorized stem cell clinics that prey on people’s hopes but make good business.
