Standard Process Supplements for Platelet Support Standard Process is a brand focused on whole food-based nutritional supplements. While they don’t have products explicitly marketed solely for “platelet support,” several are designed to promote spleen health, which, in turn, supports healthy platelet levels. The spleen plays a key role in storing, filtering, and regulating platelets in the blood—issues like an overactive spleen can lead to low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), so spleen-supporting supplements may help maintain balance. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting supplements, especially if you have blood disorders, as individual needs vary. Here are relevant Standard Process products based on available information:
Spleen PMG: This contains bovine spleen PMG™ extract (a proprietary protomorphogen blend) along with minerals, nucleotides, and peptides. It’s formulated to support healthy spleen function, which can contribute to overall blood vitality and platelet regulation. Suggested use: One tablet three times per day on an empty stomach, or as directed.
Spleen Desiccated: Made from desiccated bovine spleen, this is intended for short-term spleen support and immune system response. It may help with blood health by supporting the spleen’s role in platelet management and by including antioxidant ingredients like honey. It’s often used for immune and blood-related concerns.
Sesame Seed Oil: (organic sesame seed oil in softgel form) provides a whole-food source of beneficial fatty acids, antioxidants (like vitamin E and lignans), and other nutrients traditionally used to support healthy blood function.* Its rich profile of polyunsaturated fats and bioactive compounds may help promote optimal blood flow by supporting vascular health and circulation, while contributing to overall platelet health through antioxidant activity that helps maintain normal blood components and reduce oxidative stress on cells involved in clotting and vascular integrity. This makes it a supportive option for patients seeking natural nourishment for circulatory wellness in the lower extremities.
Other Standard Process products might provide broader blood or circulatory support, such as Circuplex (for vascular health and circulation, containing niacin and vitamin B6) or Ferrofood (for iron and blood health), but the spleen-focused ones are most directly linked to platelet-related functions. These are not FDA-approved treatments for specific conditions like low platelets; they’re nutritional supplements meant to complement a healthy diet. If you’re dealing with platelet issues, blood tests and medical advice are essential.
