Bleeding gums? Help them HEAL with this ‘cooling nutrient’
Your gums are BLEEDING and RECEDING…
And your teeth may even be FALLING OUT.
Gum disease STRIKES 2 out of 3 Americans over age 65…
And it’s been linked to heart disease risk…
Low mood…
And even memory loss!
Don’t let it get to that point.
There’s a nutrient your gums might be MISSING…
And REPLENISHING your supply could help SLOW or even STOP the progression of gum disease…
Either on its own or alongside one of the most common periodontal procedures out there.
I shared with you before how coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) could help keep your heart YOUNG…
SUPPORT vessel health…
And BEAT BACK blindness.
One of the MAJOR ways it works is by EXTINGUISHING inflammation…
And that action is KEY this nutrient’s benefits to gum health.
When your gums are RED and INFLAMED… it could be a sign of gum disease (a.k.a. periodontal disease).
And if it PROGRESSES… the inflammation could actually SEPARATE your gums from your teeth…
Causing “pockets” where bacteria could collect… and tartar could build up.
This is a recipe for DISASTER for your dental health – because it’s been known to lead to bone loss.
And that DESTRUCTION of tissue could ultimately lead to tooth loss!
That’s why your dentist may recommend a “deep cleaning” to REMOVE the buildup under the gum line… in a procedure sometimes called “root planing and scaling.”
The theory is that SCRAPING away whatever has collected in those pockets will help COOL OFF the inflammation… and help your gums “spring back” into place.
We’ve known for over 40 years that CoQ10 could help periodontal patients RECOVER from this procedure through its anti-inflammatory actions.
In 2015 study out of India, taking CoQ10 supplements after root planing and scaling helped REDUCE inflammation markers…
SHRINK periodontal pockets…
And TIGHTEN gums significantly more than placebo.
And in a 2018 study, applying CoQ10 gel directly into the pocket also helped ERASE plaque deposits and SLAM THE BRAKES on bleeding gums!
But this gets better…
Because research has ALSO found that supplementing with CoQ10… or using it topically on the gums… could help REDUCE the “attachment loss” at the gum line…
WITHOUT necessarily undergoing all that INVASIVE poking, prodding, and scraping.
That could be because gum disease patients have been found to be more commonly DEFICIENT in CoQ10, not only in their bloodstream…
But also in their gum tissue!
You can find CoQ10 as the star ingredient in PerioBrite Natural Mouthwash by Nature’s Answer… which should be available at your local health food store or online in various flavor varieties.
It’s recommended that you swish with 2 capfuls of it once or twice a day… and spit it out after 30 or 60 seconds. (Don’t swallow it!)
If you’re interested in taking supplements, you should know about the ACTIVE version of CoQ10 — a.k.a. ubiquinol.
Taking THAT form allows your body to SKIP the extra step of converting regular ol’ CoQ10 into a version it can absorb.
Ubiquinol is the MOST bioavailable form of CoQ10 out there.
