As for stem cells, I do not think so. The consumption of stem cells is not viable for directly improving health, they would be broken down in the stomach/intestine and even if they survived the stomach traversal, they would never make it through the intestine walls into the body.

You can think of the entire gastrointestinal track as being outside of the body. Topologically speaking, humans are donuts. The transport from the intestine (outside of your body) into the lumen (inside of your body) can only be done via transporters for specific molecules or via transcytosis (a bubble like molecular construction that brings things through a cell in the intestinal wall). The maximum size of these bubbles is about 100nm (much, much smaller than a cell). You can really only get stem cells in via injection.

Even if you do inject them, they will then be attacked by the immune system as a foreign body. I do not see them becoming part of a humans organs unless an entire stem cell niche is transplanted (as is done in leukemia treatments) and only if they are genetically compatible.

What does exist in blood of the young however, in addition to potentially adrenochrome, are other signaling molecules that may have a direct effect on youthful phenotypes, such as growth hormone agonists, testosterone, other steroids, etc.

I could be wrong about the injection of stem cells. I have not looked into it specifically, but I have looked at the phenotypical effects of these signaling molecules, and I know something about how the immune system works. My instincts (based on years of study and work in related topics) tell me this is not something that will work. I am happy to be proven incorrect.
