Men typically have higher numbers of red blood cells than females. So when low test results occur, then doctors become concerned.
The hormone the governs red cell formation is made by the kidney...so it is pretty complicated.
It is probably some lifestyle thing you are doing. Or it may be a fluke...some tests can be faulty you know. Don't overdo the zinc as that lowers copper, and low copper leads to anemia.
But it takes pretty high zinc levels to do that. Normal supplements don't have a dramatic effect on copper.
