Re: New to Oil Pulling
Actually I've switched to Ubiquinol (which is supposedly the most absorbable form of COQ10). I get that and most of my other supplements at swansonvitamins.com.
I'm not that regular with it anymore (though I should be) but I prefer to take 100 mgs at a time in general. When I was most worried about my gums I'd take it 3-4 times a day.
It doesn't happen overnight, but with steady oil pulling and COQ10 supplementing, a good diet and no freaking chewing tobacco, your oral health will slowly but steadily improve until its just not an issue anymore.
If you listen to dentists, there's no possible way to regrow gums, so with badly receding gums at 18 yo, there's some very major and nasty oral surgery in your future. Don't worry - a healthier diet, OP and COQ10 will be much more effective without all the misery and expense.
