Abstract
The use of biologics, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, has been widely used in the healing process surrounding injuries. Given the growth factor-rich property in nature, PRP injections induce neovascularization significantly. There has been research surrounding the role of diet and nutrition on platelet count and function. States of iron deficiency and dyslipidemia have supporting evidence of increasing platelet count. In contrast, ketogenic diets, cod liver, and vitamin D have been associated with decreased platelet counts. Considering that both diet and nutrients affect platelets, perhaps using this theory could be further researched in providing higher-quality PRP injections.
