Perhaps it was the human growth hormone. Thiel is a known proponent of transhumanism and life-extension technologies. He has stated, "Death is kind of a bad thing, in [and] of itself, so even if I was adrift and had no sense of what I was doing at all, I would still all else being equal, hopefully prefer to live a lot longer." He has taken human growth hormone (HGH) to combat aging and famously noted his desire to live forever.
