Your nightguard catches the night. It misses the other 14 hours.
Studies on awake bruxism show that up to 70% of people with TMJ also clench during waking hours — at the laptop, in traffic, mid-conversation, scrolling in bed.
You don't notice it. The masseter just stays half-engaged for 10, 12, 14 hours a day. By the time your head hits the pillow, the muscle has been firing all day — and no nightguard can undo that.
That's why the morning jaw never fully resets. That's why the splint wears down anyway. That's why Botox stops working at month 3.
The mouth gets a rubber guard at night — but the nervous system firing the muscle never gets a single break.
HALO is the 2-bottle protocol designed for the gap your guard doesn't cover: day calm + night release.
Two bottles. Two jobs. One loop.
Lower daytime reactivity. Quiet nighttime firing. Most users settle into a new baseline between week 4 and week 8.
HALO Calm
1 capsule after breakfast. Lowers daytime stress reactivity before tension ever reaches the pillow. Targets the 14 hours your nightguard can't cover.
What's inside Calm
🌿 Ashwagandha KSM-66® — 300mg
The most clinically studied form of ashwagandha. Shown in RCTs to lower cortisol output — the actual "fire-signal" that keeps your masseter half-engaged all day. 300mg is the lower end of the clinically studied range (300–600mg), chosen for long-term tolerability.
🍃 L-Theanine — 200mg
An amino acid from green tea that promotes alpha brain waves — the same calm-but-alert state as meditation. Lowers stress symptoms without sedation, so you stay sharp for work, traffic, and meetings.
HALO Release
1 capsule 45 minutes before bed. Quiets neural firing and supports deep muscle relaxation through the overnight window — so your guard catches the bite, and Release calms what's firing it.
What's inside Release
🧲 Magnesium Bisglycinate — 200mg elemental
The chelated, highly bioavailable form — not the cheap oxide or citrate you'll find in most supplements. Reduces over-firing of the motor neurons commanding the masseter to clench in your sleep. The 200mg is the true elemental dose, not the marketing number.
🍃 L-Theanine — 200mg
Improves sleep architecture so your body actually drops into deep recovery phase — instead of spending the night in light, tense sleep where the jaw keeps firing. Non-sedating, non-habit-forming.

"I'm a teacher. By 2pm my jaw was a brick. I'd literally count down to dismissal so I could unclench. Started Calm in the morning, Release before bed — week 4, I noticed I'd stopped white-knuckling my pen during 7th period. My husband asked why I wasn't grinding my teeth at dinner anymore. I hadn't even noticed I stopped."

"Release before bed changed my mornings completely. I used to wake up like I'd been chewing rocks all night. Kept wearing my nightguard — and 3 weeks in, jaw soft, no temple throb, no first-coffee-pain. Cheapest fix I've made in 5 years of trying things."

On the protocol for 3 weeks
"I had my nightguard. I had my splint. I still woke up with my jaw throbbing every single morning for 6 years. 3 weeks on the Calm + Release protocol — and for the first time I woke up without bracing my face. I lay there staring at the ceiling like 'wait… is this what mornings used to feel like?' My husband noticed before I did. I'd stopped grinding in my sleep. 6 years."

On the protocol for 3 weeks
"I take Calm in the morning, Release 45 minutes before bed. I sleep deeper than I have in 10 years and my jaw doesn't feel like a fist when I wake up. That's it. That's the review. Best decision I've made for my body in a decade."

Questions we get every day
Straight answers. No marketing fluff.
I already wear a nightguard. Why add this?
The guard protects your teeth. It does nothing for the muscle that's firing. That's the layer this protocol covers — both during the day (when no guard is in your mouth) and at night (by calming the nervous system that's telling your jaw to clench in the first place).
Keep wearing your guard. It works with the protocol, not against it.
What's the difference between Calm and Release?
- Calm (AM) — Ashwagandha KSM-66 + L-Theanine. Lowers stress reactivity and cortisol during the day so tension never builds up in the first place.
- Release (PM) — Magnesium Bisglycinate + L-Theanine. Quiets motor neuron firing and deepens sleep so the masseter actually gets a recovery window overnight.
You need both. Day calm without night release leaves the nighttime grind. Night release without day calm leaves 14 hours of daytime clenching. The protocol is built as a loop.
I've tried magnesium before. It did nothing.
Most magnesium pills are oxide or citrate — barely absorbed. We use 200mg elemental Magnesium Bisglycinate (the chelated form). The label shows elemental dose, not the marketing number. If you've tried magnesium and felt nothing, you almost certainly took the wrong form at the wrong dose.
Is ashwagandha safe to take every day?
Yes. The dose we use (300mg KSM-66®) is well within the clinically studied range (300–600mg/day) for stress and cortisol support. We deliberately chose the lower end so it's well-tolerated long-term.
Skip it if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on thyroid medication — and talk to your doctor first if you're on any prescription meds.
Will this make me drowsy during the day?
No. Calm is specifically formulated to lower stress reactivity without sedation. L-Theanine creates a calm-but-alert state (the same one from green tea), and KSM-66 works on cortisol over weeks, not as an acute sedative. Most users report feeling clearer, not sleepier.
How fast will I feel results?
Most users report softer mornings within 7–14 days. The full nervous-system reset — cortisol curve, deeper sleep, lower baseline muscle tone — typically lands around week 4–6.
This is a protocol, not a painkiller. Tension patterns that took years to build don't unwind in 72 hours.
Can I take this with my nightguard, splint, or Botox?
Absolutely. All three of those work on the output (the bite, the bite position, the muscle itself). This protocol works on the input (the nervous system signal firing the muscle). They layer together without interfering.
Many of our users report their guard/splint/Botox actually works better once the underlying load drops.
What if it doesn't work for me?
60-day money-back guarantee. Run the full protocol for two months. If your morning jaw isn't softer, your sleep isn't deeper, and your daytime tension isn't lower — email us for a full refund. Even if both bottles are empty.
No forms. No questions. No restocking fee.
Is this FDA approved?
Supplements aren't FDA-approved in the same way drugs are — that's true of every supplement on the market. What we can tell you: every ingredient is clinically studied, manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in the USA, and third-party tested for purity.
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
How many bottles do I get and how long does it last?
- Calm: 60 capsules · 1 per day · 60 days
- Release: 60 capsules · 1 per day · 60 days
One order = the full 60-day Reset Protocol. Designed to last exactly as long as your nervous system needs to rewire its baseline.
How do I actually use it?
- Morning: 1 × Calm after breakfast
- Evening: 1 × Release 45 minutes before bed
That's it. No tracking. No timers. No exercises. Keep your nightguard, splint, or Botox routine exactly as it is.
