Hi Kareem, I found these articles for you.
The first is regarding foods which can help increase your platelets; Vitamin C in citrus fruits being one of them.

Also, an article from the National Institute of Health regarding, “Nutritional zinc increases platelet reactivity”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1951315/

Zinc is an important element in our diets and usually we consume enough daily for cellular activity. Taking too much as a supplement can have some unpleasant side effects.

Just to give you a little more information on zinc, this article was informative.
