Lp(a) reduction with diet and medications
Can we reduce the Lp(a) by proper diet or any medications?
diet and most standard lifestyle changes do not lower Lp(a) meaningfully. Lp(a) is largely genetic and fairly stable over life. Current best approach is : If Lp(a) is higher lower LDL to less than 55 using statins/ lifestyle. Certain current drugs like PCKS9 inhibitors (Repatha) may help--physician consultation would be very important Several new drugs in pipeline though and likely to come out in the next 12 months!! Stay tuned!
