Ammonia Smelling salts for weight lifting have been used for decades in boxing, lifting, and other professional sports.
Zone Smelling Salts come in a powder form (ammonium carbonate ((NH4)2CO3H2O)). When water is introduced with the ammonium carbonate, ammonia gas is released.
Look at our activation method above to determine if you need to activate your salts, or if it is already done for you.
Warning
Users of Zone Smelling Salts must also be aware of the following:
• Understand the risks involved with smelling salts. • Do not abuse or misuse smelling salts. • Keep smelling salts away from children. • Avoid contact with eyes, mouth or open wounds. • Start at a full arm’s length away. • Do not use if allergic or pregnant. • Consult a physician before use. • Use with caution and only as directed. • Do not use in conjunction with alcohol consumption

SHELF LIFE
Shelf Life: Around 6 months. Once initially opened the lifespan of smelling salts can last anywhere from 1-6 months depending how many times they get used/opened.
While it is helpful for the ammonia to interact with fresh oxygen*, the more the bottle is used and the longer the lid is off the bottle - the faster the potency will fade.
*If you don't plan on using your Zone very often, still give the bottle a quick crack and reseal every couple weeks. This new introduction of fresh oxygen will help maximize the life of your bottle. Otherwise the ammonia can suffocate.
IMPORTANT NOTES
KEEP OUT OF PROLONGED OR EXTREME HEAT AND COLD!
Make sure to give the bottle a tap and shake before each use, this will allow the ammonia gas to rise to the top, giving you a clean and potent hit.

Makes you cry like somebody punched you in the nose!
I wanted to share my feedback on your product, the Bear Down Steel Frost smelling salts. They are by far the best smelling salts I have used.
They are long lasting and potent; this is my second bottle after the first one finally died after over a year and a half of use. I have tried many other brands, and these are hands down the strongest and most effective salts on the market.
My whole powerlifting team is now exclusively using these salts, with the girls using them even more frequently than the guys. My favorite is when someone asks to use our salts and they are not ready for the hit, even with a warning and training session on how to use them. The onion cutting ninjas are on the loose in our gym and at every meet. We wouldn't have it any other way!

Chemist did a great job on this one. Longest lasting smelling salt on the market due to the container. Lifting partners have already bought some for themselves. You won’t be disappointed.

This bottle was better than the first smaller one that I tried.
I took me new Zone Red and popped the seal at my Saturday training session in a dedicated powerlifting gym. I work out with a group of lifters who have accumulated National and World records over the last 30 years. I have many of my own also in the Master classes.
I used the Zone Red for three of the lifters who attempted heavier lifts and all three had positive reactions to it. All of them also made their lifts.
We are training for the USPA World Meet coming up in November of this year.

They work really good but they got much less potent after only one use but still work fine
