Can Atorvastatin, Chromium Picolinate And Cod Liver Oil Be Taken Together?

I have recently been taking Green Coffee Extract and Garcinia Cambogia to decrease appetite Had a blood test that showed elevated triglycerides and high chlorestrol So I thought about adding Cod Liver Oil and Chromium Picollinate to the daily mix At the same time my doctor prescribes Atorvastatin which is a Statin. Not sure I want to take this as I am wary of Statins and Steriods. What do you think. would 200 mg of Code Liver OIl per day do essentially the same thing

Hello welcome to health care magic
sir/madam I really not happy to hear about you taking drugs or any other substance to decrease appetite. you should never do that, it decreases the immunity of our body and also make it susceptible for infections. I would recommend you to kindly start having healthy diet, small meals 6 times day. vegetables and pulses mostly included.
As far as its concerned with your statin question, I suggest you to not be a doctor and listen to your doctor because he is much more specialized in the field you are trying to expertise. Please dont take any medication or therapy without consulting him/her. Statins are basically drugs to reduce cholesterol level in the body and it is necessary to take it as reduces the chances of atherosclerosis which is the leading cause of cardiac problems.
I hope I am able you.
THANK YOU for using health care magic.
