Kenyan Highlands Boost Red Blood Cell Production
The temperate weather and altitude of the Kenyan highlands, around 8,000 feet above sea level, are believed to stimulate red blood cell and EPO production. This phenomenon is particularly noted among the Kalinjin tribe from the Wasengi Shu area. Altitude and temperature in the Kenyan highlands have been studied to understand their effect on EPO production.
