My girlfriend's TMJ was cured by Tauromag

My girlfriend has some trouble with anxiety and sleep. I've used nootropics myself for years for various reasons and recently discovered tauromag on nootropicsdepot. I thought it could help with her light sleep issues.
It has helped with that and as an additional side effect, it completely cured her TMJ. Her jaw muscle used to be ROCK hard, her dentist always commented on how tense it was. She recently got a mouth guard that she doesn't even need to use anymore since starting tauromag.
Here is the description of it from nootropicsdepot website:
Magnesium N-Acetyl Taurinate (TauroMAG) has become quite popular recently because anecdotally it produces the most palpable relaxing effects of all of the magnesium forms that are out there. This is likely due to the taurine portion of TauroMAG, which we already know can produce significant relaxing effects. Magnesium on its own also produces significant relaxing effects for most people, however, there seems to be something unique going on with TauroMAG because it produces very robust relaxing effects, more so than either taurine or magnesium in isolation. This could have something to do with the taurine portion of TauroMAG being acetyl…

It is different from regular magnesium. The chemical name is Magnesium Acetyl Taurinate, it has novel relaxing effects that are not fully understood from what I've read.

They are fairly understood. It's the acetyltaurine that is causing the relaxation effect, paired with the fact that chelating it to magnesium increases the lipophilicity. This allows it to deliver magnesium past the blood brain barrier more efficiently. So you get the direct GABA and NMDA effects of the acetyltaurine along with more magnesium in the brain itself. I do think the acetyltaurine portion is doing the heavy lifting in this instance, but more magnesium in the brain is probably part of it. However, as you have said, there are better forms to get high magnesium levels into the brain. Our Micromag will get more elemental magnesium in there, but it doesn't have the same effect as Tauromag because of the lack of acetyltaurine.
