High rbc count

[mugen112]

If u take something that boosts red blood cell count will the body need more iron? Or will it always need the same amount of iron regardless of rbc count?

Buuuut, if u get too high rbc count and it effects thickness would aspirin help

yes. increased RBC count can increase risk for thinker blood and clotting. and yes, asprin is an antiplatelet drug. it will help prevent blood cells from clotting. but you dont want to take it every single day unless your doctor approves of a low dose asprin for you daily. it can destoy your stomachs lining.
