7-Day Hematocrit Optimization Plan
Protocol Objectives

Dehydration artificially raises hematocrit (thick blood). Drink water to dilute plasma.
Iron/B12 (Low Hct)
Low hematocrit is anemia. Build blood with red meat and liver.
Omega-3
Helps blood flow and membrane health.
Grapefruit
Naringin in grapefruit can help lower excessive hematocrit (check meds).
