Like nucleosynthesis during the early universe, light nuclei are also produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Although the deuteron ($d$) yields in these collisions can be well described by the statistical hadronization model (SHM), which assumes that particle yields are fixed at a common chemical freezeout near the phase boundary between the quark-gluon plasma and the hadron gas, the recently measured triton ($^3\text{H}$) yields in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=7.7-200$ GeV are overestimated systematically by this model. Here, we develop a comprehensive kinetic approach to study the effects of hadronic re-scatterings, such as $\pi NN\leftrightarrow\pi d$ and $\pi NNN\leftrightarrow\pi ^3\text{H}~(^3\text{He})$, on $d$, $^3\text{H}$, and $^3\text{He}$ production in these collisions. We find that these reactions have little effects on the deuteron yield but reduce the $^3\text{H}$ and $^3\text{He}$ yields by about a factor of 1.8 from their initial values given by the SHM. This finding helps resolve the overestimation of triton production in the SHM and provides the evidence for hadronic re-scattering effects on nucleosynthesis in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
