    I take fish oil as well as a cacium tablet and a few other things like l drink 2 glasses of our beetroot juice mixed with a tablespoon of wheatgrass powder and a little carrot juice. This is naturally neant to help the platlet levels in my blood as before my 1st fhr l had quite a low platlet count and it nearly caused my op to be delayed. Since l have found out my date for my other hip replacement l started with this and the vitamins as well as vit c and b12. I have my pre-op today so l will soon find out if it has made any difftence. My op is on monday morning all going well.
