When you receive a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) procedure, your body begins a powerful healing process. While these procedures activate your body’s natural repair mechanisms, your nutrition and supplement choices can significantly enhance the outcome—reducing inflammation, supporting tissue repair, and optimizing your recovery timeline.
Here’s how to support healing from the inside out:
1. Prioritize Anti-Inflammatory Foods
A healthy, anti-inflammatory diet helps modulate inflammation and keeps the healing process on track.
Top anti-inflammatory foods:
- Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines)
- Dark leafy greens (spinach, kale)
- Berries (blueberries, raspberries)
- Avocados, walnuts, flaxseeds
- Extra virgin olive oil
2. Fuel Tissue Repair with High-Quality Protein
Protein is essential for the rebuilding of soft tissue, ligaments, cartilage, and muscle. Spread your intake evenly throughout the day to support sustained healing.
Best sources:
- Lean meats, poultry, eggs
- Fish and seafood
- Greek yogurt and cottage cheese
- Plant-based proteins like lentils, tofu, and chickpeas
Goal: Aim for 1.2–2.0 grams of protein per kg of body weight daily based on activity and recovery needs.
3. Support Collagen & Connective Tissue Repair
After PRP or BMC therapy, collagen synthesis is crucial. Certain nutrients and supplements can accelerate this process.
Key nutrients:
- Vitamin C – citrus, bell peppers, kiwi
- Zinc – pumpkin seeds, beef, seafood
- Copper – sesame seeds, mushrooms, dark chocolate
- Collagen peptides – choose a high quality supplement
- Circumin – choose a high quality supplement
4. Hydration = Healing
Water helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues, removes waste and inflammatory byproducts, and keeps joints and soft tissue lubricated. It also supports circulation, regulates inflammation, and maintains energy levels—making it one of the simplest yet most powerful tools to support recovery.
Goal: Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water daily, or more with exercise.
5. Limit Foods That Disrupt Recovery
Pro-inflammatory foods can interfere with healing and even increase pain levels. Try to minimize:
- Refined sugar and white flour
- Deep-fried foods
- Processed meats and snacks
- Excess alcohol and soft drinks
6. Optimize Recovery with Targeted Supplements

The Takeaway?
Your healing journey doesn’t end after the PRP or BMC procedure. In fact, the foundation for healing starts before your procedure even begins. Nutritional preparation helps prime your immune system, reduce baseline inflammation, and provide the raw materials your body will need for tissue repair. In total, a smart combination of nutrition, hydration, and science-backed supplements can dramatically support your body’s regenerative capacity – both pre and post recovery.
