from my reading, the zinc supports many elements of the immune system (and lots of other metabolic systems in the body), so it is really hard to say RBC versus WBC, but you can see the increase in the lymphs on the CBC after using the 40% zinc oxide on the feet regularly...sometimes the number will go up by 3 points within only 24 hours...I have actually measured this one IN HOSPITALS...fyi.

I have not noticed the zinc to boost the RBC's but I have noticed liver/red meat of almost any kind, beets, raisons, purple grape juice, things like this to cause the RBC's to come back up.

Good luck with things,
Gina
