What's the difference between pre-activated and non activated smelling salts?

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.
