So right to recommend seeing a functional medicine doc.
Mine wants me on K2 (makes D more effective and is heart protective) and extra B vits to negate damage from air pollution as I’m in an industrial area.
Yes, it's important to read up on what is helpful to control our platelets. We are all individuals and need to work w/someone professional who knows us best.

Be very careful with K2 - it is also used to increase platelet levels in patients who have low levels!

Agreed getting a good Functional Med Dr is key.
But if you have a blood disorder with high platelets my understanding is you shouldn’t be on any K supplements and should also avoid consuming K products…K thickens blood, creates more platelets, creates clots.

The B vitamins primarily B12 are going to raise platelets count.

I have a great Chinese med Dr who’s in process of also becoming a Functional Med Dr and she said same thing to me about Vit K and B but I told her for blood disorders and high platelets we are ppl that this will have negative effects on.
