Hi @ggb21. It would be very helpful to know the cause for your low red blood count. There are foods and nutrients which can help promote cell growth. But if there’s an underlying cause where the bone marrow isn’t able to make enough healthy red blood cells, white cells or platelets, then just consuming food won’t correct the problem.
I found some current conversations that might be of interest. One is with members who have myelodyplastic syndrome (a condition with their bone marrow) and are wondering how they can increase their blood counts

Do you have any underlying health concerns or taking any medications? What’s has your doctor mentioned about the low red blood count?
