Observational analysis increased erythropoiesis in individuals with cytopenia, suggesting fasting may promote red blood cell production.

Short-term fasting improved erythropoiesis and increased erythrocyte counts in patients with cytopenia, supporting its potential as a treatment.
Fasting for 3 days significantly enhanced red blood cell functionality and quantity, matching youthful levels of production.
Assessment of erythropoiesis showed that autophagy activated by fasting downregulated MS4A3, crucial for erythroid differentiation.
These findings highlight fasting as an innovative approach to boost red blood cell output, with implications for managing anemia.

Xu et al. (2025) studied this question.
