Igniter

Igniter — A Night Time Fat Burner Built for Workers Who Need Real Sleep

Most fat burners are loaded with caffeine. That works for the morning, but not for the part of your day when your body actually does the rebuilding — sleep. Igniter is a different kind of fat burner. It's built for the hours after your shift ends.

Igniter is a low-stimulant night time fat burner formulated for blue-collar workers who run 10 to 12-hour shifts and need both fat-loss support and serious recovery sleep. The formula combines a low daytime caffeine load with a robust sleep-support stack — melatonin, magnesium, ashwagandha, valerian, GABA, 5-HTP, and L-theanine — designed to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up ready to work.

This isn't a sedative. It's a sleep-supportive fat burner that respects what your body needs to recover from physical labor.

What Igniter Is Designed to Support

• Sleep Quality: Melatonin, magnesium, ashwagandha, valerian, passion flower, GABA, and 5-HTP combine to support sleep onset, sleep depth, and sleep duration
• Overnight Fat Utilization: L-Carnitine Tartrate and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) support fat utilization during rest
• Carbohydrate Management: White Kidney Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) contains alpha-amylase inhibitors that support starch management — useful if your last meal of the day is heavy on carbs
• Cravings Control: L-Tryptophan and 5-HTP support serotonin pathways that affect late-night appetite
• Mood and Recovery: Ashwagandha and lemon balm support cortisol management, which matters during sustained physical work

What's Actually in Igniter

A nighttime fat burner is only as good as the formula behind it. Here's what's in the bottle.

Disclosed Vitamins and Minerals

• Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) — 30 mcg / 150% DV — supports recovery, immune function, and sleep quality
• Niacin — 1 mg NE — supports cellular energy metabolism
• Magnesium (Magnesium Oxide) — 200 mg / 48% DV — supports muscle relaxation and sleep
• Melatonin — 4 mg — the body's primary sleep onset hormone

Night Burn Blend — 500 mg

• White Kidney Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) — contains alpha-amylase inhibitors that support starch management
• Green Coffee Bean (Coffea arabica) seed — contains a small amount of natural caffeine, balanced by L-Theanine in the formula for a calming effect rather than a stimulant kick (see "About the Caffeine in Igniter" below)
• L-Theanine — amino acid that supports relaxation; pairs with the small caffeine load to take the edge off
• L-Carnitine Tartrate — supports fat utilization during rest
• L-Tryptophan — amino acid precursor to serotonin and melatonin; supports sleep and mood
• Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) — supports body composition during rest

Mood and Sleep Blend — 340 mg

• Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) root — adaptogen that supports stress response and cortisol management

• Passion Flower Extract (Passiflora incarnata) — supports relaxation and sleep
• Valerian Powder (Valeriana officinalis) root — one of the most-studied herbs for sleep onset and sleep depth
• Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) — neurotransmitter that supports calm and reduced anxiety
• 5-HTP (Griffonia simplicifolia) seed — direct precursor to serotonin, supports sleep quality and mood

Other ingredients: Gelatin Capsule, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Titanium Dioxide, FD&C Blue #1.

About the Caffeine in Igniter

Igniter contains green coffee bean extract as part of its Night Burn Blend. Green coffee bean is a natural source of caffeine, though the amount is much smaller than what you'd find in a cup of coffee or a daytime fat burner like Torch.

Why include any caffeine at all in a nighttime formula? Two reasons. First, green coffee bean has its own research for body composition and lipid markers that's separate from its caffeine content. Second, the small caffeine load is paired with L-Theanine — an amino acid that has been studied alongside caffeine for decades. The combination produces a calmer, more focused effect than caffeine alone, and the small amount in Igniter is designed to support the formula's other actives without disrupting sleep onset.

If you're highly sensitive to caffeine, drug-tested at work, or want a truly stim-free option, Liquid Burn is the BCN product with no caffeine at all. Igniter is for guys who can tolerate a small amount of caffeine in the evening and want the full sleep-supportive ingredient stack.

How to Take Igniter

• Take 2 capsules 30 to 60 minutes before bed
• Use nightly for best results
• Take with or after your last meal if you have a sensitive stomach

Each bottle contains 60 capsules — a 30-day supply at the full nightly dose.

Built for the Shift Schedule

Igniter is designed to work with the reality of physical work. If you finish a shift at 6 PM and need to be in bed by 9, you take Igniter around 8. If you work nights and "bed" for you is 8 AM, you take Igniter around 7 AM before you sleep. The formula doesn't care what time of day your sleep cycle starts — it's designed to support whichever sleep window is yours.

Important Safety Information

Igniter contains several active ingredients with real interactions. Read this section carefully.

Do not take Igniter if any of the following apply:

• You're under 18
• You're pregnant or nursing
• You take SSRIs, MAOIs, tramadol, or other serotonergic medications (5-HTP and L-tryptophan can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome when combined with these drugs)
• You take other melatonin supplements (combining can produce excessive melatonin doses)
• You take prescription sedatives, sleep medications, or anti-anxiety medications
• You take blood pressure medications or thyroid medications without consulting your doctor
• You have any chronic medical condition under active treatment

Other safety rules:

• Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or perform safety-sensitive tasks within 8 hours of taking Igniter. Melatonin, valerian, and GABA all support sedation, and the effects can extend overnight.
• Do not combine Igniter with alcohol. The sedative effects compound.
• The 4 mg melatonin dose is on the higher end of the typical range. If you've never taken melatonin before, consider opening one capsule to start with 1 capsule (2 mg melatonin) before going to the full 2-capsule dose.
• If you experience vivid dreams, headaches, or grogginess, that's typically the melatonin or valerian. The effect usually fades after a few nights of consistent use, but if it persists, scale back to 1 capsule.

If you have any medical condition or take any prescription medication, talk to your doctor before starting Igniter.

Igniter and Your Recovery

Sleep is when your body actually does the work of recovery. Muscle repair, hormone restoration, glycogen replenishment, cognitive consolidation — all of it happens during sleep, not during the day. For physical workers running 10 to 12-hour shifts five or six days a week, sleep quality is the difference between feeling sharp on day five and feeling like you got hit by a truck.

Igniter supports the sleep that supports the recovery. The fat-loss ingredients are real and they work, but the bigger contribution of this formula is making sure your sleep is deep enough that your body can actually do its overnight work. That's the part most fat burners get wrong — they leave sleep alone or actively disrupt it. Igniter is built around protecting it.

What is a night time fat burner?

A night time fat burner is a non-stimulant or low-stimulant supplement designed to be taken before bed. It supports fat utilization, carbohydrate management, and recovery during sleep without containing the high doses of caffeine and other stimulants found in daytime formulas. The goal is to support fat loss without disrupting sleep — because sleep is when most of the body's recovery actually happens.

Do night time fat burners work?

Yes, with realistic expectations. A nighttime fat burner doesn't replace a calorie deficit or physical activity, but it supports the conditions that make fat loss easier. Quality nighttime formulas like Igniter combine ingredients for sleep onset (melatonin, valerian, passion flower), stress and cortisol management (ashwagandha), carbohydrate management (white kidney bean), and fat utilization (L-Carnitine, CLA). Combined with consistent sleep hygiene and a calorie deficit, the formula supports the recovery that drives fat loss results.

Is Igniter caffeine-free?

Igniter is low-caffeine, not caffeine-free. The formula contains green coffee bean extract, which is a natural source of a small amount of caffeine. The dose is much smaller than a cup of coffee or a daytime fat burner, and it's paired with L-Theanine to produce a calming rather than stimulating effect. For most people, the small caffeine load doesn't disrupt sleep — but if you're highly caffeine-sensitive or want a fully stim-free option, Liquid Burn is BCN's truly caffeine-free fat burner.

How much melatonin is in Igniter?

Igniter contains 4 mg of melatonin per 2-capsule serving. Most clinical research uses 0.5 to 3 mg of melatonin for sleep, so 4 mg is on the higher end of the standard dose range. For most healthy adults this dose works well. If you've never taken melatonin before, consider starting with 1 capsule (2 mg of melatonin) for the first few nights to assess your response.

Can I take Igniter if I work the night shift?

Yes. Igniter supports sleep regardless of when your sleep cycle occurs. If you work overnights and sleep during the day, take Igniter 30 to 60 minutes before your daytime sleep window. The formula is designed to support whichever sleep period is yours, not a specific time of day.

Can I take Igniter with my evening meal?

Yes. Many people take Igniter shortly after their last meal of the day. The white kidney bean extract in the formula is most effective when taken with a meal that contains starches, since it works by reducing starch absorption. If you have a sensitive stomach, taking Igniter with food is also gentler than on an empty stomach.

Will Igniter make me groggy in the morning?

For most people, no. The formula is designed to support deep sleep without leaving residual sedation. Some people are more sensitive to melatonin than others — if you experience grogginess at the full 2-capsule dose, scale back to 1 capsule. Most morning grogginess from sleep aids comes from either an excessive melatonin dose or from waking up mid-cycle. Taking Igniter 30 to 60 minutes before bed and giving yourself a full 7 to 8 hours of sleep window minimizes both.

Will Igniter cause a failed drug test?

No. Igniter contains no anabolic compounds, no amphetamines, no banned hormones, no yohimbe, and no PEA. The active ingredients are vitamins, minerals, melatonin, amino acids, and herbal extracts — none of which trigger positives on standard workplace, military, or athletic drug screens. The small amount of caffeine from green coffee bean is well below any threshold that would register on caffeine testing (which most workplace tests don't include anyway).

Can I take Igniter with other sleep supplements?

Generally not recommended. Igniter already contains 4 mg of melatonin, valerian, GABA, 5-HTP, L-tryptophan, and ashwagandha. Stacking it with another melatonin supplement, valerian product, or sedative herb can produce excessive sedation. If you currently take other sleep supplements, talk to your doctor before adding Igniter, or simplify by replacing your other sleep stack with Igniter alone.

Who shouldn't take Igniter?

People under 18, pregnant or nursing women, anyone taking SSRIs, MAOIs, tramadol, or other serotonergic medications (5-HTP and L-tryptophan interactions), anyone on prescription sleep medications or sedatives, anyone on blood pressure or thyroid medications without doctor consultation, and anyone with a chronic medical condition under active treatment. If you're not sure, talk to your doctor.

How does Igniter compare to Torch?

Torch and Igniter are designed to work as a day/night pair. Torch is a high-stimulant daytime thermogenic — caffeine, PEA, yohimbe, green tea extract — meant to be taken in the morning and at midday for energy and metabolic support during your shift. Igniter is a low-stimulant nighttime formula meant to be taken before bed for sleep support and overnight fat utilization. Many guys take both — Torch in the morning, Igniter at night — for 24-hour fat-loss support. They can be combined safely as long as Igniter is taken at least 8 hours after the last Torch dose.
