• Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone that helps your body maintain a healthy red blood cell count and is used to treat anemia. 
• EPO is produced in the kidneys and stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells.
• It's also known as hemopoietin.
• EPO is also thought to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic properties.

Additional Information
