Zone Original

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.

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. 

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.
