The body's chemical signal to make more red blood cells is erythropoietin. Triggers for releasing this chemical include low oxygen levels in the blood stream, anemia (lack of red blood cells) and increased oxygen demand (such as by starting a vigorous cardio exercise program).

When there is polycythemia, one should dilute the blood to prevent it from clotting.
Without B12, red blood cell production is greatly reduced
