Are there any oils that complement lipitor?



Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. There are no specific oils that are known to complement Lipitor. However, some studies suggest that certain dietary supplements and foods may help lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health [2].

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil and flaxseed oil, have been shown to lower triglyceride levels and reduce the risk of heart disease [2]. However, it is important to note that taking high doses of fish oil supplements may increase the risk of bleeding and interact with certain medications, including Lipitor [3].

Garlic supplements may also help lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health [2]. However, it is important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking garlic supplements, as they may interact with certain medications, including Lipitor [3].

Plant sterols, found in certain vegetable oils and margarines, may also help lower cholesterol levels [2]. However, it is important to note that plant sterols may interact with certain medications, including Lipitor [3].

It is important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking any dietary supplements or making significant changes to your diet, especially if you are taking medications like Lipitor [3].
