Will Taking Crestor Help Lower The Cholesterol?

I currently taking Crestor (5 mg) to lower my cholesterol, and have reduced my total cholesterol from 282 down to 160 without any side effects. I m wondering if it is safe to start taking Garcinia Cambogia with it, as it containes niacin-bound chromium & Gymnema sylvestre extract?
