A plateletcrit of 2.52% is elevated, but blood test results can sometimes be skewed by minor lab variances or temporary factors. There is no known direct link between your daily Calcimax K2 (calcium and vitamin K2) supplement and elevated platelet levels. Since you feel well, there is no need to panic. I highly recommend sharing these results with your doctor, who will likely suggest a simple repeat blood test to confirm if this reading is accurate.
