A short spoken recommendation about platelet-rich plasma (PRP) procedures: the speaker advises drawing at least 60 cc (60 mL) of whole blood to obtain sufficient platelets/stem cells for effective results, noting that smaller draws (e.g., 11 cc or 22 cc) are inadequate. The clip equates 60 mL to about 2 ounces (a glass of wine) and emphasizes that volume of whole blood matters for platelet concentration and subsequent blood flow and cell growth.

Well, number six, if they are doing platelet rich plasma, what volume of blood are they getting out of you? I recommend in order to really get enough stem cells in your platelet, you need to get out at least 60 cc or milliliter of whole blood. Usually when you do platelet rich plasma, the blood is drawn from your veins and the adequate amount you should get is 60 CT or 60 milliliter. That will equate to about 2 ounces or glass of wine. If the clinic is doing about only 11cc or 22cc of blood, you're not getting enough platelets to allow you to get more blood flow or even cell growth. So the volume of whole blood is important.
