Whenever you get a cut or wound, it is the platelets that form the clot and stops the blood from oozing out. After that, it releases the growth factors that incite the regeneration of tissue required for healing.

Platelet-Derived Growth hormones provide nourishment to the tissue, improve the blood circulation in the skin, and eliminate damaging metabolic waste.
