FAQs

Everyone's smelling salts are different. Ours are a combination of ammonium carbonate and sodium carbonate. Our ingredients are lab grade and made in the USA. We only use the finest ingredients to ensure safety, efficacy and customer satisfaction.

Smelling salts are generally safe when used in moderation. However, excessive or prolonged exposure to ammonia can cause irritation to the nose, lungs, and eyes. It's essential to follow instructions and avoid overuse.

Smelling salts provide a quick burst of alertness by triggering a reflex in your nervous system when inhaled. The sharp smell activates the body’s respiratory system, increasing breathing rate and heart rate, which can help improve focus and awareness.

No, smelling salts are not considered a drug. They are categorized as stimulants due to their ability to temporarily heighten alertness, but they are not classified as a controlled substance.

This is a common myth- while they may be difficult to find in brick and mortar retailers. You can find them in a myriad of places online, including right here.

Smelling salts have a sharp, pungent odor primarily caused by ammonia. The scent is strong and can be overpowering, which is why it’s effective in immediately grabbing attention.

Smelling salts work by releasing ammonia gas, which irritates the membranes of the nose and lungs. This irritation triggers an inhalation reflex that increases oxygen intake, which in turn stimulates the brain and body, creating an instant sense of alertness.

When used properly, smelling salts are not harmful. However, overuse or improper use can lead to respiratory irritation or dizziness. It's important to only use them as directed and not for extended periods.

Smelling salts are used to quickly revive someone from fainting, provide an energy boost during athletic performance, or sharpen focus in high-intensity situations. They are particularly popular among athletes, such as powerlifters and hockey players, who need rapid bursts of energy and concentration.

Pre-activated smelling salts have already been mixed and are ready to use straight out of the bottle. However, they are often considered inferior because they could have been activated months before you actually use them, leading to a loss of potency over time. Non-activated smelling salts, on the other hand, allow you to activate the ingredients right when you need them, ensuring maximum freshness and effectiveness with every use. Non-activated salts give you control over when the powerful ammonia scent is released, providing a more reliable and stronger performance boost.
