Lower CholesterolLipoprotein a – How to Lower Lipoprotein a
Lipoprotein(a) levels are not affected by the foods you eat or your activity level. There are no prescription medications, including statin drugs, that have a meaningful impact on reducing levels. That doesn’t mean you don’t have options if you live with an elevated lipoprotein(a). Research suggests certain supplements, such as omega-3’s, niacin, and vitamin C, may help lower lipoprotein(a) in some people.
Work with your doctor to learn your lipoprotein(a) level and the best treatment approach for you.

I may earn a commission on dispensary orders.
