                                According to a systematic review published in the *Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences*, certain plants like garlic, kiwifruit, cacao, and grapes were shown to have inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation. This makes understanding **what foods bring your platelets down** crucial, especially for those managing high platelet counts (thrombocytosis) or other cardiovascular risks. While diet is not a replacement for medical treatment, certain foods and habits can play a supportive role in regulating platelet function.
