Co-Q 10, as it's commonly called, also helps with the gums and helps keep gums healthy. I put my middle daughter on it when she first got braces because she had a reaction to the nickle braces causing her gums to swell and Co-Q 10 helped her gums heal. How well it works in other areas... no idea but I do know that at least if someone has sensitive gums may want to try Co-Q 10 after discussing it with their doctor first. (I always say discuss with a doctor first because of legalities.)
