When people talk about energy, they often mean alertness or stimulation. But from a physiological perspective, energy is more fundamental. It’s about how effectively the body manages fuel, controls blood sugar, and produces usable energy at a cellular level.
Large blood glucose swings can contribute to peaks and crashes, brain fog, and hunger. In contrast, balanced glucose handling and efficient metabolism support a more predictable, steady energy state without relying on caffeine or stimulants.
Ignition was formulated with this systems-based view in mind. Rather than targeting energy from a single angle, it brings together ingredients that support energy balance through complementary pathways.
Supporting Glucose Regulation and Steady Fuel Availability
Blood sugar regulation plays a central role in energy balance. When glucose is absorbed and used efficiently, the body is better able to meet energy demands without sharp rises and falls.
InnoSlim® and Glucose Regulation
InnoSlim® is a standardised botanical extract studied in human clinical trials. In a randomised, double-blind study, six weeks of supplementation was associated with significant reductions in fasting blood glucose and post-meal glucose response.¹
Beyond blood sugar markers, the study demonstrated increases in adiponectin and AMPK activity – key metabolic pathways involved in how the body regulates glucose and fats.¹ These pathways support a stable internal environment rather than fluctuations driven by blood sugar swings.
Chromium and Normal Blood Glucose Maintenance
Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.² It also supports normal macronutrient metabolism, reinforcing its role in how carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are processed for energy.
Green Tea and Insulin Sensitivity
Green Tea Extract does more than provide alertness. Meta-analyses of 17 randomised controlled trials show statistically significant reductions in fasting blood glucose and HbA1c.³ By supporting healthier glucose handling and insulin sensitivity, green tea helps contribute to steadier fuel availability across the day.
Supporting Energy Production and Metabolic Efficiency
Once fuel is available, the next critical step is converting that fuel into usable energy. This process depends on efficient cellular metabolism and adequate nutrient support.
Magnesium from Aquamin® and Energy-Yielding Metabolism
Magnesium acts as a co-factor for enzymes involved in glucose metabolism and insulin signalling.⁴ Long-term human research shows that higher magnesium intake is associated with healthier insulin sensitivity and lower levels of systemic inflammation.⁵
In Ignition, magnesium is provided as Aquamin®, a naturally derived marine magnesium. It has demonstrated superior bioavailability compared to some common magnesium forms, supporting everyday metabolic function without acting as a stimulant.⁶
Curcumin and Lipid-Driven Metabolic Balance
CurCousin®, a bioavailable curcumin extract standardised to Calebin A, supports energy through lipid (fat) metabolism. In a placebo-controlled study, supplementation was associated with improvements in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol.⁷
Because fats are a key macronutrient for longer-term fuel supply, improving how the body regulates these lipids is vital for sustained, non-stimulant energy.
A Systems-Based Approach to Steady Energy
Rather than targeting a single pathway, Ignition is designed to support energy balance as a whole – from glucose regulation to cellular energy production. Steady energy isn’t forced; it emerges when foundational systems are supported consistently.
That’s why Ignition focuses on:
-
Supporting glucose handling and fuel regulation.
-
Enhancing energy-yielding metabolism at the cellular level.
-
Reinforcing metabolic resilience over time.
This ensures that the benefits are designed to build, not spike.
