The allegedly seized adrenochrome, believed by conspiracy theorists to have rejuvenating properties, was supposedly made from the \u201cblood of 10.000 children\u201d and intended for \u201cHollywood.\u201d Some of these posts included a photograph allegedly showing the \u201cconfiscated adrenochrome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The image allegedly shows Russian soldiers standing next to containers in a port, said to contain the confiscated shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, claims about Russia seizing the largest shipment of adrenochrome have been circulating on social media since at least August 2025 (<a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/Z6UP-6ABA\">1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/ycmVl\">2<\/a>). One such <a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/Z6UP-6ABA\">post<\/a> from that period states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Russian forces seize the largest adrenochrome shipment in history at the Tartus naval base in Syria.

Raskrinkavanje <a href=\"https:\/\/raskrinkavanje.ba\/pretraga?pojam=qanon\">has written<\/a> about this theory in dozens of analyses. It is based on the belief that the world is controlled by a \u201csatanic cabal\u201d involved in child trafficking in order to extract a substance called <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/7nuGa\">adrenochrome<\/a> from children\u2019s blood. According to this conspiracy theory, adrenochrome is used for <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/wUKOB\">rejuvenation<\/a> by well-known figures in business, film, and politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reality, adrenochrome is a chemical compound produced by the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20200608234246\/https:\/\/fakenews.rs\/2020\/05\/06\/happy-tv-siri-besmislice-o-drogi-dobijenoj-iz-krvi-ubijene-dece\/\">oxidation of adrenaline<\/a>. It is not obtained from human blood but is synthesized in laboratories using silver oxide. In medicine, it has limited use as a <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/SPUaD\">blood-clotting agent<\/a>. There is no evidence that this compound has any \u201crejuvenating\u201d effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claims that Russia intercepted a shipment of adrenochrome from Israel in Syria containing the \u201cblood of 10.000 children\u201d originate from an <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/dyrEu\">article<\/a> published on August 7, 2025, by the American website The People\u2019s Voice, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/Xgb8R\">known for spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories<\/a>. This outlet has previously published claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin had \u201cexposed a secret adrenochrome trafficking network from Israel\u201d involving top U.S. officials, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and numerous other public figures (<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20250703093910\/https:\/\/thepeoplesvoice.tv\/putin-exposes-israeli-child-trafficking-network-supplying-adrenochrome-to-hollywood-and-dc\/\">1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/xfi3a\">2<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/GgESa\">3<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar claims have also circulated in our region, particularly in the context of Russia\u2019s aggression against Ukraine. Since the beginning of the invasion, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/GEfxE\">QAnon<\/a> supporters have spread false claims that Putin or the Russian military in Ukraine were \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/raskrinkavanje.ba\/analiza\/putin-u-ukrajini-ne-uklanja-laboratorije-za-biolosko-oruzje\">dismantling biological weapons laboratories<\/a>\u201d and had \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/raskrinkavanje.ba\/analiza\/putin-nije-unistio-laboratoriju-adrenohroma-u-ukrajini\">destroyed an adrenochrome laboratory<\/a>\u201d in this country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>False Claims \u201cSupported\u201d by an Ai-Generated Image<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claims about Russia seizing adrenochrome from Israel can only be found in the article published by The People\u2019s Voice and in posts by conspiracy theorists (<a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/2FW3-FMRD\">1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/A8XK-2MBS\">2<\/a>). They do not appear in reports by international news agencies or major media outlets, which would undoubtedly have reported on such an incident involving Russia, Israel, and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The photograph of the alleged \u201cseizure\u201d shared in February 2026 is not authentic. It is an image generated using artificial intelligence. Several details visible upon closer inspection indicate that the image was generated or significantly altered using AI technology. One of the soldiers\u2019 hands appears unnaturally distorted and incomplete, and there are other inconsistencies, such as blurred and warped background elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authenticity of this image was also analyzed by the Greek fact-checking platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellinikahoaxes.gr\/2026\/02\/24\/i-rosia-den-kateschese-israilino-fortio-me-adrenochroma-apo-aima-paidion\/\">Ellinika Hoaxes<\/a> on February 24, 2026. Their analysis notes that the flags on the soldiers\u2019 uniforms are inconsistent and that none of them correspond to Russian flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AI-detection tool Hive Moderation assessed a 99,9% probability that the image was generated using artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the story about Russia seizing an \u201cIsraeli shipment of adrenochrome\u201d is fabricated. It is based on a widespread conspiracy theory claiming that this chemical compound rejuvenates \u201cHollywood elites\u201d and influential figures who allegedly traffic children from poorer and crisis-affected regions for this purpose. In February 2026, the story was shared alongside an AI-generated image of the supposed \u201cseizure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it is not possible to determine with certainty when these claims first appeared in our region, all posts claiming that Russia intercepted and seized an Israeli shipment of adrenochrome in Syria are rated as <strong>spreading fake news <\/strong>and<strong> <\/strong>a<strong> conspiracy theory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Original article\u00a0(in Bosnian) was published on 12\/3\/2026; Author: Elma Muri\u0107 What are the claims?Russia seized a shipment of adrenochrome from Israel that allegedly contained the blood of 10.000 children.What are the facts?The story about Russia seizing an \u201cIsraeli shipment of adrenochrome\u201d is fabricated.
