Introduction: the anaemia is a major public health worldwide, according to the World Health Organization worldwide affects 1620 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean 31% of the population has problems anemia's associated with deficient diets iron and related malnutrition. Objective: evaluating those therapeutic effects of isotonic seawater microfiltered to cold as complementary therapy in biological models with experimentally induced anaemia by poor diets in protein, vitamins and minerals, and by medicaments. Materials and Methods: they counted for eight weeks with 50 NMRI mice of both genders, adult - young age. Were divided into four experimental groups of 10 mice each, including a control group. Evaluated to the beginning and end of the experiment were the hematological parameters, salivary pH, copper and zinc. At the end of the experiment they were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and autopsied stops examine spleen, liver and kidney. Results: the experimental models under seawater intake relative to the group without sea water, independent of the type of induced anaemia, showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) with restoration of hematological parameters. The spleen was observed in size and showing restoration of normal immune damage caused. Organs such as kidney and liver showed no morphological damage. Conclusions: isotonic seawater useful as complementary therapy in experimental models, in cases of anemia caused by diets low in protein, vitamins and minerals, and triggered by medicament. MÉD.
