Fish oil, a dietary supplement that contains omega-3 fatty acids, has been studied for its potential impact on lipitor's cholesterol-lowering ability. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, taking fish oil supplements in combination with lipitor (atorvastatin) did not significantly affect lipid parameters compared to taking lipitor alone [1].

The study included 54 participants who were randomly assigned to take either lipitor alone or lipitor in combination with fish oil for a period of 12 weeks. The results showed that both groups had similar reductions in LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.

It is important to note that while fish oil may not impact lipitor's cholesterol-lowering ability, it has been shown to have other health benefits such as reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of heart disease [2].

In addition, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially when taking prescription medications like lipitor.

In summary, according to a study, fish oil supplements do not significantly affect lipitor's cholesterol-lowering ability [1]. However, fish oil has other health benefits and it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
