Hi Dee,

According to an article by Livestrong.com, there are actually many nutrient dense foods which can naturally increase the levels of your platelet (thrombocyte) count; namely leafy green vegetables such as kale and parsley. More specifically, some important nutrients that are often touted for their use in achieving a higher platelet count consist of Folate (vitamin B-9), B12, Calcium, Potassium, and Zinc. So perhaps a quality whole-food multivitamin and mineral supplement would also be beneficial in that aspect.

Have you talked with your doctor about any options as well?

I hope this helps!
