Can lipitor interfere with the absorption of avocado nutrients?



Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body [1]. Avocado is a fruit that is high in monounsaturated fats, fiber, and other nutrients that can help lower cholesterol levels in the body [2]. While there is no direct evidence to suggest that Lipitor interferes with the absorption of nutrients from avocado, it is important to note that taking Lipitor may affect the body's ability to absorb certain nutrients, including those found in avocado. This is because Lipitor works by blocking the production of cholesterol in the liver, which can also affect the absorption of other nutrients [3]. Therefore, it is important to talk to a healthcare provider about any potential interactions between Lipitor and other foods or supplements.
