Adrenochrome is an oxidation product of adrenaline (also known as epinephrine). It is formed when adrenaline molecules are exposed to oxygen in the air, which is believed to have some physiological effects on the human body. For example, it has been shown to have a vasoconstrictive effect on the blood vessels, meaning that it can cause them to narrow and restrict blood flow. It has also been linked to the production of certain enzymes in the body, which may play a role in the regulation of mood and behavior.

In recent years, Adrenochrome has been the subject of several wild conspiracy theories. These theories typically center around the idea that Adrenochrome is harvested from the adrenal glands of frightened children and young adults, and is then consumed by members of the global elite in order to maintain their youth and vitality. There is no evidence to support these claims, and are widely regarded as baseless and without merit. Nevertheless, they have gained a considerable following on the internet.
