Brief Answer:
There are no natural products as of now to boost platelets numbers!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this persistent low platelets that you have reported. I understand the fears and concerns that come with this. Between, have you suffered from any bleeding crisis recently? I hope not.

Unfortunately, there are no natural product for this. Main treatment is suppressing the immune system with various drugs such as steroids, Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, etc. Promacta mainly boost platelet production to increase the number of circulating platelets. It becomes very difficult when these drugs fail to work as usual. The best way forward here would be to try the immuno-suppressants hoping that they offer another platform to control this disease condition.

I understand it is disturbing to imagine you would be on immuno suppressant drugs to keep going. However, this is the next best available option after trying the steroids, promacta, etc.

In all, there are no other natural alternatives at this time. However, I will encourage you to embrace this knowing the benefits clearly outmatch the potential side effects.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
