Torch

Torch runs on three proprietary blends. Here's what's in each one and what that actually means.

ENERGY AND FOCUS BLEND — 425 mg
This is the working end of the formula.

Caffeine Anhydrous — the primary stimulant in Torch and the main driver of the energy, focus, and appetite effects
Phenylethylamine HCl (PEA) — a compound studied for mood and alertness, commonly paired with caffeine in stimulant formulas
Glucomannan (Amorphophallus konjac) root — a soluble fiber traditionally used for satiety

THERMOGENESIS BLEND — 40 mg
Raspberry Ketones — aromatic compound found in raspberries, common in thermogenic formulas
Yohimbe Powder (Pausinystalia johimbe) — bark-derived botanical with stimulant properties; see the Warnings section, this one has real contraindications
Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis) leaf — standardized to a minimum 50% EGCG and 98% polyphenols

LIPOGENIC BLEND — 7 mg
Kola Nut (Cola acuminata) seed — botanical containing naturally occurring caffeine
L-Carnitine Base — amino acid derivative involved in fatty acid transport

STRAIGHT TALK ON THE BLENDS
All three are proprietary, so the label discloses each blend total but not the individual amounts. We'd rather tell you what that means than let you assume.

The 425 mg Energy and Focus Blend is where Torch does its work — that's the caffeine. The Thermogenesis Blend is 40 mg split three ways, and the Lipogenic Blend is 7 mg split two ways. Those are real ingredients at supporting amounts, not clinical doses. If you want a formula built on disclosed individual amounts, Igniter lists its melatonin and magnesium exactly.

We're telling you this because the alternative is you reading the label and working it out yourself. Torch is worth buying for the stimulant energy and focus it delivers across a long shift. It isn't worth buying because of the 7 mg blend.

Other Ingredients: Gelatin, Rice Flour, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, FD&C Red #40, Titanium Dioxide

Torch is a high-stimulant formula containing caffeine anhydrous, PEA, and yohimbe. It has real contraindications. Read this before your first capsule.

DO NOT TAKE TORCH IF:
You're under 18
You're pregnant or nursing
You have high blood pressure, a heart condition, or an irregular heartbeat
You have an anxiety or panic disorder
You have kidney disease, liver disease, or an overactive thyroid
You take MAOIs, SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, or other serotonergic medications — yohimbe and PEA both interact with these
You take blood pressure medication, stimulant medication, or thyroid medication
You're sensitive to caffeine

SAFETY RULES:
Do not exceed the labeled dose. More is not better with a stimulant this strong.

Do not combine with other caffeine sources — coffee, energy drinks, caffeine shots, or other stimulant supplements.

Do not take within 6 hours of sleep.

Increase your water intake. Stimulants raise dehydration risk, and physical work in heat compounds it.

Stop use and talk to a doctor if you experience a racing heart, chest discomfort, severe headache, dizziness, or unusual anxiety.

Cycle the product: 8 weeks on, 2 weeks off.

If you're stacking Torch with Igniter, leave at least 8 hours between the last Torch capsule and Igniter.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
Torch contains yohimbe, which is restricted or prohibited in several countries including Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. If you're ordering from outside the United States, check your local regulations before purchasing.

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

What is a thermogenic fat burner?

A thermogenic fat burner is a supplement built around ingredients intended to support the body's metabolic and heat-producing processes, usually with caffeine as the anchor. Torch is the thermogenic option in the Blue Collar Nutrition lineup — 175 mg of caffeine anhydrous and PEA drive it, with a supporting thermogenesis blend of green tea extract, raspberry ketones, and yohimbe. For a fuller explanation of the category, see our thermogenic fat burner guide.

How much caffeine is in Torch?

175 mg per capsule. The caffeine anhydrous sits inside the 425 mg Energy and Focus Blend alongside PEA and glucomannan, but the caffeine dose itself is disclosed — you're not guessing about the number that matters most. For reference, 175 mg is in the range of a large coffee and less than plenty of fat burners on the shelf. It lands harder than the number alone suggests because of the PEA and yohimbe next to it. Take it with food and skip your usual coffee that morning until you know how you respond.

How should I take Torch during a long shift?

One capsule in the morning with food gives you a stimulant baseline across a 10 to 12-hour shift. Don't take it within 8 hours of sleep, and check the directions on the bottle — the label is what governs.

Can I use a stimulant fat burner if my job is physically demanding?

Yes, with real caution. Physical work already carries a high caloric burn and high fluid loss, and stimulants add to the dehydration risk. Drink noticeably more water than usual, especially working in heat — Hydrate covers the electrolyte side. If your job involves operating heavy machinery, be honest with yourself about how stimulants affect you before you take it on a workday.

Is it safe to mix Torch with coffee or energy drinks?

We'd advise against it, and this is the mistake we see most often. Torch brings 175 mg of caffeine plus PEA and yohimbe. Add a large coffee on top and you're pushing 350 mg before lunch, which is where jitters, a racing heart, and anxiety start showing up — the last things you want on a jobsite. Pick one caffeine source per day.

Will Torch make me jittery?

It can, especially on an empty stomach or stacked with other caffeine. It's a stimulant product and we're not going to claim otherwise. Taking it with food makes a real difference. If the jitters keep up anyway, stop taking it — that's your body telling you stimulants aren't the lever for you, and pushing through isn't worth it.

Will Torch help with after-work cravings?

Stimulants tend to take the edge off hunger, and steadier energy through the afternoon makes the crash-and-binge cycle less likely — that pattern where an exhausting shift ends in eating everything in the kitchen. Worth being clear about what's doing the work: that's mostly the caffeine, not the 7 mg lipogenic blend.

Do I need to cycle Torch?

Yes. Eight weeks on, two weeks off. Your body builds tolerance to caffeine, so the break keeps the formula working the way it's supposed to. If you'd rather not track it, a simpler version works: take it on workdays, skip it on days off. That builds the breaks in on its own.

Will Torch cause a failed drug test?

Torch contains no amphetamines, no hormones, and no anabolic compounds — it's a caffeine-and-botanical formula. We can't guarantee the result of any specific test, though, and we won't pretend to. Panels differ, and if you're in a DOT or other safety-sensitive role, the responsible move is to show the label to your employer or MRO before you start. One thing worth knowing: Torch contains yohimbe. It isn't screened for on standard employment panels, but it is prohibited by some sport governing bodies, so check the current list if you compete.

How does Torch compare to Igniter?

Two different jobs. Torch is stimulant-driven, daytime, and cycled — for people who want real energy across a shift. Igniter is low-stimulant, taken before bed, and sedating — for people whose sleep is the actual bottleneck. Igniter is not a stimulant-free version of Torch, and it isn't meant to be used during the day. Both plus Digest are in the Fat Loss collection. If you take Torch and Igniter on the same day, leave at least 8 hours between the last Torch capsule and Igniter.

Who shouldn't take Torch?

Anyone with high blood pressure, a heart condition, an irregular heartbeat, an anxiety or panic disorder, kidney or liver disease, or an overactive thyroid. Anyone taking MAOIs, SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, blood pressure medication, stimulant medication, or thyroid medication. Anyone under 18, anyone pregnant or nursing, and anyone sensitive to caffeine. If you're unsure whether a medication you take interacts with a stimulant formula, ask a pharmacist before you start — that's a free conversation.
