A lot of substances are involved in blood clotting. It is a very large and complex picture. Without writing a whole essay, the best I can do for you is make a short list of critical components:
1. A healthy bone marrow (this is where the platelets are produced)
2. A healthy liver (this is where most of the proteins of the clotting cascade are produced)
3. Vitamin K
In addition, these common substances enhance blood clotting:
1. COX-2 inhibitors (any drug that ends with "coxib")
2. nicotine
3. bacterial products such as lipopolysaccharides
