GAZM: My Formula for Peak Physical and Intimate Vitality
Let me tell you something most people don’t know about me.
For all the biohacks I’ve pioneered… for the 1,000+ supplements I’ve formulated… for the ingredients I’ve patented…
There was a time I struggled to simply excel in all areas of life.
My drive for peak physical performance was relentless, but I noticed a disconnect between my efforts and my ultimate vitality. Sometimes, my energy would wane, my motivation would dip, and my desire for deeper connection felt uninspired. I pushed through these subtle declines, often relying on sheer willpower to maintain my physique and a facade of unwavering vigor - all while pretending I was “fine” because I was the guy with all the answers.
But my full potential? It felt untapped.
I couldn’t always command that robust vitality. I couldn’t consistently find that peak physical performance. I couldn’t always cultivate an uninhibited, intimate connection without feeling a subtle barrier.
And yet, every day I reached for the same things most of us reach for when we’re desperate to feel stronger, more vibrant, and deeply connected:
- More strenuous workouts.
- More rigid routines.
- More hoping for an elusive spark.
And that’s when I realized something that changed everything: True vitality, peak performance, and profound intimacy aren't about brute force or wishful thinking. It’s about empowering the body’s innate systems for holistic strength, vigor, and connection.
🧠 The Deeper Science of Peak Vitality
You can’t achieve peak physical performance when your body's systems are not fully optimized. You can’t genuinely connect on a deeper, intimate level when hormonal imbalances or compromised blood flow subtly hinder your experience. You can’t maintain robust vitality when stress and inadequate recovery take their toll.
But we try to anyway - don’t we? We push harder in the gym, hoping for results that plateau. We rely on external factors for drive or intimacy, feeling that something is missing. We feel drained, lacking the vibrant energy to truly seize life. What we call "performance" is often just a partial expression of our true capabilities.
And the more I studied it - in the research, in my own biochemistry, in the labs - the clearer it became: We need a new way to achieve holistic vitality. One that supports physical prowess, enhances hormonal balance, optimizes blood flow, and fosters profound well-being - not just isolated gains.
And that’s why I created GAZM - at first not for the market, but for myself.
🧬 How GAZM Was Born
When Vishen and I sat down to dream up what Mindvalley States could be, I made a promise: If I’m putting my name on something - it’s going to be the best thing I’ve ever made. Not the cheapest. Not the trendiest. The real deal.
I didn’t want to make just another "performance booster" that offers fleeting results or comes with unwanted side effects. I wanted to create the first state-based supplement for holistic vitality - something that wouldn’t just "stimulate," but that would gently and intelligently guide the body into its natural, empowered state of peak physical ability, intimate connection, and unwavering vigor.
So I asked myself: What would I give my system every day to foster robust vitality, exceptional physical performance, and profound well-being?
And I formulated GAZM. A multi-ingredient, synergy-based, performance-enhancing, vitality-boosting capsule. Backed by studies. Felt from day one. Built for long-term physical and intimate excellence.
🧠 What’s Inside the GAZM Formula
Let me walk you through the key ingredients I chose - and why.
Inositol-stabilized Arginine Silicate (Nitrosigine®) – 1.5g
Nitrosigine® (Inositol-stabilized Arginine Silicate) is a patented compound designed to boost nitric oxide levels significantly. This enhancement of nitric oxide leads to improved blood flow, which in turn benefits muscle pumps during exercise and supports overall vascular health. Beyond physical performance, Nitrosigine has been shown to improve cognitive function, reduce muscle damage and fatigue, and increase perceived energy levels, all without the typical stimulant responses.
Beet Root Powder (Beta vulgaris) – 400mg
Beet Root Powder comes from the beet plant and is a concentrated source of nitrates, which are converted into nitric oxide in the body. This process plays a fundamental role in improving blood vessel health, reducing blood pressure, and significantly enhancing physical performance. Beet Root Powder also helps muscles contract more effectively and can even improve performance at high altitudes by optimizing oxygen utilization.
- Increases Nitric Oxide production
- Increases Efficiency at which Oxygen is Utilized
- Delays fatigue
- Increases Muscle Contractility
- Facilitates Faster Recovery
- Lowers Oxygen Cost of Exercise
- Increases Performance When at Altitude
Zinc (as Zinc Picolinate) – 54mg
Zinc Picolinate is included for its fundamental role in facilitating recovery, healing, and testosterone production. This highly bioavailable form of zinc is essential for the optimal functioning of the immune system, DNA synthesis, and wound healing. It also contributes to mood regulation, helps decrease inflammation, and supports healthy skin. Its superior absorption ensures that this vital mineral effectively supports the body's protective forces and overall well-being.
- Supports recovery, healing, and testosterone production
- Essential for optimal immune system functioning
- Involved in DNA synthesis and wound healing
- Contributes to mood regulation
- Helps decrease inflammation
- Supports skin health
Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) Extract (root) – 200mg
Tongkat Ali Extract is derived from Eurycoma longifolia, also known as Malaysian ginseng. This powerful ingredient is known for its ability to modulate, support, and increase testosterone levels, which are crucial for mood, energy, and overall vigor. It also enhances physical performance by improving strength, endurance, and body composition, while promoting faster recovery. Furthermore, Tongkat Ali helps with stress management and has been shown to improve sexual health and performance in both men and women by boosting libido and supporting hormonal balance.
- Modulates, Supports, or Increases Testosterone levels
- Enhances Physical Performance (strength, endurance, body composition, recovery)
- Aids in Stress Management
- Improves Mood, Quality of Life, and Sexual Healt
Shoden® Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Extract (root and leaf) – 120mg
Shoden® Ashwagandha is a clinically validated and award-winning adaptogen. This multipurpose ingredient helps the body resist physical and mental stress, promoting balance and resilience. It boasts anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, memory enhancing, sleep-inducing, and anxiolytic properties. Shoden Ashwagandha effectively relieves stress by reducing cortisol, manages anxiousness, promotes healthy sleep, boosts immune health, and increases testosterone levels and overall vitality. Its high bioavailability and comprehensive profile of bioactive compounds make it exceptionally effective for enhancing physical performance, muscle strength, and recovery, while also being environmentally friendly.
💡 So What Happens When You Take It?
You don’t feel “jittery.” You don’t feel “over-stimulated.” You feel… truly empowered and vibrant.
Experience enhanced physical drive. Command peak performance in workouts. Cultivate deeper, more passionate connections. Like your body and mind are perfectly aligned to conquer any challenge. That’s the true state of GAZM.
And GAZM helps you access it - reliably, powerfully, and sustainably. This isn’t a magic pill. It’s a physiological ally. It doesn’t create false energy - it amplifies your innate strength and vitality.
✅ When I Take GAZM
Here’s how I personally use it:
- To elevate physical performance and endurance during workouts or demanding activities.
- To elevate intimate experiences
- To enhance vitality and vigor, especially when facing high-stress periods.
- To support optimal hormonal balance and overall intimate health.
- To boost confidence and improve mood and motivation.
You can take 2-4 capsules per day. It’s fast-acting, but the long-term benefits are what I’m most excited about: improved physical capabilities, enhanced intimate experiences, sustained vitality, and profound well-being.
🧪 Why This Formula Is Different
No proprietary blends. No filler. No “close enough” dosages.
Every ingredient in GAZM is:
- Clinically dosed
- Third-party tested
- Branded and studied
- Stacked intentionally for synergy
This isn’t a formula designed by a marketing team. It was designed by me - to unlock my own full potential. And now it’s for yours too.
🌱 Why This Isn’t About Selling a Pill
This is about taking your sovereignty back. We live in a world where peak physical potential can feel elusive, intimate connection can seem challenging, and sustained vitality is often overshadowed by relentless demands. We’re often told to settle for less or rely on unsustainable methods to cope.
But there’s a different path. One where your body and mind operate at their peak. One where your energy and drive are consistently high. One where profound vitality and intimate connection can coexist.
That’s what GAZM represents to me. I made it because I needed it. And now, if it resonates, it’s here for you too.
You’ll feel it from the first dose. And love it more with every use.
It’s not just a pill. It’s a daily practice. A way of anchoring into your most powerful, vibrant, and intimately connected self.
