Based on the information available, there is no direct evidence to suggest that Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, hinders vegetarian iron intake. Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a type of statin that works in the liver to lower cholesterol levels [1].

Iron is an essential mineral that our bodies need to produce hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues [2]. Vegetarian sources of iron include beans, lentils, tofu, spinach, and dried fruits [3].

There are no known interactions between atorvastatin and iron supplements or iron-rich foods that would suggest that Lipitor hinders vegetarian iron intake [1]. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice regarding medication use and dietary interactions [4].

In summary, based on the available information, there is no evidence to suggest that Lipitor hinders vegetarian iron intake.
