A patient with a family history of cholesterol deposits in the arteries asks her doctor for a recommended vitamin. Which vitamin is the doctor likely to recommend?

The doctor might recommend statins because statins block a substance your liver needs to make cholesterol. Bile acid binding resins because your liver uses cholesterol to make bile acids, a substance needed for digestion. Cholesterol absorption inhibitors because your small intestine absorbs the cholesterol from your diet and releases it into your bloodstream. Finally
Injectable medications because a newer class of drugs, known as PCSK9 inhibitors, can help the liver absorb more LDL cholesterol — which lowers the amount of cholesterol circulating in your blood.
