Dude just copies what the ND product does over and over like an ad, too. Not that I think ND is doing an ad through the post, just the guy is a victim of advertisement. I think magnesium and/or taurine are good to take, but you can just post that and not copy paste NDs verbatim ad copy for a product.

Tauromag is not magnesium and taurine. It's magnesium chelated to ACETYLtaurine. There is a big difference in the pharmacokinetics with that acetylation. The acetylation of taurine’s nitrogen atom abolishes its zwitterionic structure, leaving a single negative charge on the sulfonate group. This modification increases lipophilicity, which allows it to traverse neuronal phospholipid membranes and the blood-brain barrier more efficiently. So taking acetyltaurine will result in more brain penetration than taking taurine. Also, because it is chelated with a coordinate bond, not a salt with an ionic bond, this complex will pull more magnesium into the brain. So Tauromag is going to be different than even just taking magnesium oxide and acetyltaurine together.
The OP copying our product page description is a bit weird. I agree. I don't really see where he would have gotten the idea to take it for TMJ from our description, though. If you look at their original post on /r/TMJ, they started trying it for the sleep effects, then just noticed the TMJ stuff afterwards.
