- 01Magnesium GlycinateLimited74% match
Magnesium supports muscle relaxation and normal nerve excitability, which may ease the jaw muscle clenching that drives TMJ tension.
SuggestedMagnesium glycinate, 200 to 400 mg elemental taken in the evening - 02L-TheanineLimited68% match
L-Theanine promotes alpha brain wave activity and a calm but alert state, which may indirectly reduce stress driven jaw clenching.
Suggested100 to 200 mg capsule, taken during the day or before stressful periods - 03Vitamin B6Limited60% match
Vitamin B6 is a cofactor in synthesizing neurotransmitters such as GABA and serotonin and works alongside magnesium in muscle and nerve function, but a direct TMJ benefit is unproven.
SuggestedPyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P), around 25 to 50 mg daily - 04Vitamin D3Limited56% match
Vitamin D supports muscle function, and low status has been associated in observational studies with chronic musculoskeletal and orofacial pain.
Suggested1000 to 2000 IU softgel with a fatty meal - 05CalciumLimited54% match
Calcium is required for normal muscle contraction and relaxation cycles, working in balance with magnesium in jaw musculature.
SuggestedCalcium citrate, 250 to 500 mg with food
