So, Youngblood *is* useful for something...
I think Heinlein already called this. If I'm remembering right, in some of his Future History stories, part of the rejuvenation process involved giving the patient new/fresh/young blood and replacing the old & worn out stuff. Something about getting rid of the toxins and other assorted garbage that builds up in the blood.

In this episode that recreated the account of a mortally wounded Irish warrior who was immersed in a bath full of bovine blood in an attempt to infuse the warrior with the vitality and strength of these animals. Needless to say, the attempted cure didn't work.
...in a manner of speaking.
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be
