It can be hard to believe everything you hear. Many products claim to improve performance or help an athlete increase their winning power only to disappoint. The Pure Power Mouthguards are not your average tool.

“The idea that the position of your jaw can affect the rest of your body stretches back at least to ancient Greek athletes and Roman warriors biting down on leather straps; wounded U.S. Civil War soldiers “bit the bullet” to deal with pain. These days, top sprinters strive to relax their face – as you can see from their jiggling cheeks in slow-motion replays.

Nobody really knows why this should work. Clenched teeth may stimulate excessive production of the stress hormone cortisol, or a misaligned temperomandibular joint – the connection between the lower jaw and the skull – may constrict airways or interfere with nerve signals travelling from the brain to the rest of the body. And there are other theories. Whatever the mechanism, Dr. Makkar reports immediate improvements in posture, flexibility, balance and strength, and notes that its users report increased endurance and faster recovery.”

Pure Power Mouthguards have been getting a lot of attention in the sports world. The New Orleans Saints have brought a lot of attention to the product when they had an amazing season using it. Everyone wants to be their best and now we can help you get your own PPM Mouthguard.

“My sense is that it’s real and it could be important, for some sports more than others,” says Dr. Arent, who has submitted the results to the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. “But seriously, I was surprised by the effect.”
