My friends have been talking about switching from dental floss to interdental brushes for better oral care and more effective brushing. It seems that everyone is talking about interdentals, but how do I make sure they’re right for me? Is there a way to see whether I should use them or not? What is...

Are bleeding gums an energy imbalance?⠀

There is a common pathway of inflammation in the mouth that associates with heart disease.

Higher concentrations of Ubiquinol are found in energy-intensive organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, brain and muscles.⠀

Well gum tissue is similar, and it shows us the gums-heart connection.
⠀
Research is suggesting that inflammatory processes of gum disease could be due to mitochondrial dysfunction.⠀
⠀
Mitochondrial health goes deep into our genetic history and are the energy powerhouses of all of our cells.⠀
⠀
Ubiquinol is the active or “converted” form of CoQ10, a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance that helps convert food into energy.⠀
⠀
It’s the electron rich version of CoQ10.⠀
⠀
A powerful antioxidant that protects against damage from toxic free radicals, CoQ10 is found in foods like liver, sardines, mackerel, cauliflower, broccoli and asparagus.⠀
⠀
The Ubiquinol form of CoQ10 plays a critical role in creating most of this cellular energy.⠀
Japanese researchers from Nihon University School of Dentistry studied the effects of Ubiquinol in improving oral health.⠀
⠀
The reduced form of coenzyme Q10 was used in a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Q10 (present in the mitochondria) is essential for energy production in the form of ATP in every cell in the body.⠀
⠀
The researchers gave forty-five volunteers with mild to middle degree of periodontal disease (37 men, 8 women, average age: 39.4 years old) ubiquinol (150 mg/day) or a placebo for 2 months. They would examine plaque adhesion, pocket depth, bleeding, gingival recession, foul breath and anti-oxidative activity in saliva before and after one and two months of supplementation.⠀
⠀
Using electron rich versions of CoQ10 could be a way to boost your mitochondrial health.

You can get high concentration CoQ10 from eating heart, or liver, or supplement the active form, ubiquinol.

If you suffer from bleeding gums it could be due to mitchondrial dysfunction that puts you at risk of heart disease.

Do your gums bleed?
