Researchers discovered a definite link between gum disease and Alzheimer's, pinpointing pathogens as the culprit linking these two areas of your health.
Patients with periodontitis often have significant CoQ10 deficiencies in their gums and white blood cells. This CoQ10 deficiency in white blood cells indicates a systemic nutritional imbalance. A gingival CoQ10 deficiency could predispose people to gingivitis and periodontitis, and periodontitis could even increase CoQ10 deficiency. Furthermore, the beneficial effect of CoQ10 was also reported separately and independently of the clinical improvements of five symptoms of gingivitis and periodontitis, and the initial benefits were observed only three weeks after the start of treatment with CoQ10 and metabolic and mitochondrial diseases. Various studies have indicated the application of Coenzyme Q10 and probiotic bacteria such as Ligilactobacillus salivarius (L. salivarius) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) in the fight against periodontal disease.
CoQ10 supports health through its ability to influence lipid peroxidation, help regenerate vitamin E from the alpha-tocopheroxyl radical, and interact with certain hydrogen peroxide molecules related to mitochondrial DNA. Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to the production of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) such as resolvins, protectins and maresins, which play a crucial role in the resolution of inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids and minerals, zinc, selenium, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium have demonstrated beneficial functions in building tooth enamel, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.
Whey protein, a widely used protein supplement, stands out especially for its rich content of essential amino acids that are vital for muscle repair and growth. Whey protein also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It influences the production of cytokines, balancing the body's pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses. This modulation of the immune system is a key factor in periodontal health and wound healing.
B vitamins and vitamin C (which are absorbed or expelled from the body), and fat-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamins D and E (both stored in the liver and fatty tissues). Water-soluble B complex vitamins and vitamin C contribute to the vitality of oral tissues, supporting the health of gums and mucous membranes
Vitamin D and K2 reduce gingival inflammation. The same survey highlighted a link between the high prevalence of periodontitis and vitamin D deficiencies. Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with periodontal diseases in women during pregnancy.
Vitamin E is essential for immune function, skin health and neurological processes. Lower levels of vitamin E in the periodontitis group compared to the healthy control group.
Periodontitis may be associated with vitamin C deficiency. In addition to its fundamental role in collagen formation, vitamin C has been reported to have a protective effect on periodontal tissues. Its adequate intake is essential to reduce the risk of periodontal disease. The ability of vitamin C to decrease levels of proinflammatory cytokines plays an important role in mitigating inflammatory responses within the periodontium. Additionally, vitamin C is known to reduce bleeding within the gum, a symptom often associated with periodontal disease.
