Platelets :

Tiny, irregularly-shaped, colorless cells which circulate in the blood and helps blood to clot in case of injury.  Mineral, calcium, vitamin K and fibrinogen (type of protein)helps the platelets from a clot. Platelets  are stick to each other due to granules present in it.  When bleeding from a wound occurs, platelets gather at wound and attempt to block the blood flow to save our life.

How platelets helps in blood clotting :

When blood is exposed to air, platelets sense the presence of air, they react with the fibrinogen to begin forming fibrin (tiny threads) and make a web-like mesh which traps the blood cells within it. Gradually, this mesh of blood cells dry and hardens to form a clot.

Hence, our body naturally overcome such a serious problem which can lead to death. So we all must to thankful to nature J Lets see which nutrients must be present in blood to complete this clotting process.
