Are you taking statins for cholesterol?
These drugs block CoQ-10 production in the body, and hence the gums will suffer.
100mg of Qunol (a new form out now), daily (even if you do not take statins), will help build up your gums. So will 500mg of Vit C a day. And a Centrum Silver multivitamin.
I take fish oil and have done so for over a decade, and I don't get bleeding gums from it. I only take 2 a day.
You still might need further dental support, but these nutrients will help gum health.
Qunol is now at WalMart, and Costco at big savings prices. It is the new water solubilized form, which improves absorption. The older types don't get absorbed well from the GI tract.
