Does lipitor hinder yoga endurance?



There is no evidence to suggest that Lipitor, a medication used to lower cholesterol levels, hinders yoga endurance. Lipitor's active ingredient, atorvastatin, works by blocking an enzyme that the liver uses to produce cholesterol [1]. While some studies have suggested that statins, like Lipitor, may have negative effects on exercise performance, particularly in high-intensity activities, there is no evidence to suggest that this is true for yoga [2]. In fact, a study published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation found that statin use was associated with improved physical fitness and increased exercise capacity in patients with cardiovascular disease [3]. Therefore, it is unlikely that Lipitor would hinder yoga endurance and may even have a positive impact on overall physical fitness.

Follow-up:   How long have you been taking Lipitor? Have you noticed a decrease in endurance? Have you spoken to your doctor about Lipitor's effects?
