Two-stage melatonin, branded calm ingredients, no-stim night burn.
Alpha Lion Night Burn is a no-stim night fat burner that gets it right: if you're not sleeping well or handling stress, fat burners don't do much. It skips caffeine, yohimbine, or anything that could wreck your rest, and pairs a light calorie-burner with solid ingredients to help you relax and sleep better, setting you up for real progress.
The star is 500mg Zylaria™, matching the dose in studies. Zylaria comes from Xylaria nigripes and helps you unwind by working on your GABA system – that's the brain chemical that calms you down. It boosts the enzyme that makes GABA and slows the one that breaks it down. It also touches on adenosine for relaxation and might help with BDNF for deeper sleep. The research is new but promising, and this is the dose they're testing – one of the cooler sleep helpers out there without melatonin.
250mg lavender aerial parts and flower extract brings in a trusty herb for calming. It's here to ease you into bed, not knock you out cold. Basically, it helps when you're beat but your mind won't quit.
120mg Shoden® ashwagandha is a smart pick since it's at the low end of the 120–240mg studied range. Shoden has 35% withanolide glycosides, so it's super concentrated and backed by good research. It tones down cortisol through your stress system and acts on GABA receptors to quiet your nerves.

Key Highlights
- 500mg Zylaria™ – that's the full dose from the studies for sleep help. It boosts your brain's calm signals by ramping up GABA production and slowing its breakdown, so you relax instead of staying wired.
- 120mg Shoden® Ashwagandha – hits the start of the 120–240mg researched range. With 35% withanolide glycosides, this isn't weak stuff; it's a strong adaptogen that fights stress, cuts cortisol, and aids sleep.
- 50mg Capsimax® – right in the 50–100mg sweet spot for steady fat-burning. Capsaicinoids kick off heat production and fat breakdown via TRPV1 receptors, and the beadlets make it easy on your stomach unlike straight spicy stuff.
- 2.5mg melatonin total, with 1.5mg quick-release and 1mg slow-release. This split helps you fall asleep and stay asleep, not just a big hit that fades midway through the night.
- 250mg lavender aerial parts and flower extract – a solid calmer that fits with the GABA and sleep vibe. It eases that 'tired but buzzing' feeling that stops you from nodding off.
- Everything's listed out, no hidden blends. In a world of shady night burners with tiny doses behind prop labels, this shows you exactly what's in it and how much.
- Truly no stims here. No caffeine to mess with your sleep, spike your heart, or kill the recovery you need for fat loss.
- Focuses on recovery to drive body changes, not just quick buzz. It gets that bad sleep amps stress, boosts hunger, hurts workouts, and makes dieting tough even with calories in check.

Who Is This For?
- Late-night trainers who need to switch from workout mode to rest. Zylaria™, lavender, Shoden®, and two-part melatonin bridge that without heavy sedatives or stims that keep sleep junk.
- Dieters in a deficit where bad sleep amps cravings, stress, and scale swings. It boosts sleep for fat loss and adds 50mg Capsimax® for light burn and fat release.
- Stressed folks wired at night despite being tired. Shoden® dials back cortisol and stress system, while lavender and Zylaria™ create the calm for actual sleep.
- People ditching stims after lunch but wanting night fat help. True no-stim setup, no caffeine or harsh stuff, better than regular burners for evenings.
- Recomp chasers who know recovery fuels workouts. Deeper, longer sleep sets up better performance, hunger control, and sticking to it – that's how bodies change.
- Folks who've done plain melatonin and want more. Adding Zylaria™, Shoden®, lavender, and slow melatonin covers chill, falling asleep, and staying asleep better.
How to Use
Take 2 capsules 30–45 minutes before bed with water. Gives time for the quick melatonin and calm stuff like Zylaria™, lavender, and Shoden® to kick in. If you're super sensitive to melatonin or sleep aids, try 1 cap first few nights. With or without food is fine, but a big meal late might slow the chill. Skip evening caffeine or pre-workouts – they clash with the sleep focus. Stacks great with daytime basics like protein, creatine, electrolytes, and magnesium, but watch adding more melatonin. No stim cycle needed since there's no caffeine or yohimbine. Keep it cool and dry, and use steady for sleep gains in a cut.
What to Expect
In 20–30 minutes, you feel a chill settle in, not a sudden drop. By 30–60 minutes, the 1.5mg quick melatonin and calm herbs make drifting off easier, especially if thoughts are racing. Middle of the night, 1mg slow melatonin helps you stay down. First night, it's mostly better falling asleep and less tossing. Week one, sleep gets steadier with less morning fog. By weeks 2–4, it's the buildup: solid recovery, easier stress, and a plan that's simpler because sleep isn't sabotaging you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much melatonin is in Alpha Lion Night Burn?
Night Burn provides 2.5mg total melatonin per 2-capsule serving. That is split into 1.5mg immediate-release melatonin plus 1mg sustained-release MicroActive® melatonin, which is a smarter setup than a single fast-release dose because it supports both falling asleep and staying asleep.
Is Alpha Lion Night Burn stimulant-free?
Yes in practical use—this formula contains no caffeine and no traditional stimulant fat-burner ingredients. Its fat-loss support comes from 50mg Capsimax® capsaicinoids, while the rest of the formula is built around relaxation, stress support, and sleep quality.
What does Zylaria™ do in this formula?
Zylaria™ is a 500mg Xylaria nigripes extract used here for relaxation and sleep quality support. It works through GABA-related mechanisms by supporting GABA synthesis and reducing GABA breakdown, while also interacting with adenosine pathways associated with deep, restorative sleep.
Is 120mg of Shoden® enough to matter?
Yes. Shoden® is clinically studied in the 120–240mg range, so 120mg hits the low end of the researched dose window. Because it is standardized to 35% withanolide glycosides, it is far more meaningful than a generic ashwagandha inclusion with weak standardization.
Will Capsimax® keep me awake at night?
No, Capsimax® is not a stimulant like caffeine. It works by activating TRPV1 receptors to support thermogenesis and lipolysis, and the 50mg dose used here sits in the researched range without turning the formula into an alertness product.
When should I take Night Burn?
Take 2 capsules about 30–45 minutes before bed with water. That gives the immediate-release melatonin time to support sleep onset while allowing Zylaria™, lavender, and Shoden® to help the nervous system downshift.
Can I stack Night Burn with a magnesium supplement?
Yes, many users pair nighttime formulas like this with magnesium glycinate or bisglycinate. Magnesium complements the calming and sleep-support side of the stack, but you should avoid stacking with additional melatonin unless you know your personal tolerance.
Will this make me groggy the next morning?
Most users tolerate 2.5mg total melatonin well, especially with the split immediate/sustained design, but melatonin sensitivity varies. If you are prone to morning grogginess from sleep aids, start with 1 capsule and assess your response.
Is this just a sleep aid, or is it actually a fat burner too?
It is both, but the fat-loss side is intentionally mild and nighttime-appropriate. Capsimax® provides thermogenic support, while the deeper strategy is improving sleep and stress regulation so recovery, appetite control, and body-composition progress are not being undermined every night.
Does Night Burn use a proprietary blend?
No. One of the best things about this formula is that every active ingredient is fully disclosed with its exact dose, including Zylaria™ at 500mg, lavender at 250mg, Shoden® at 120mg, Capsimax® at 50mg, and the two melatonin forms totaling 2.5mg.
