Description
Smelling Salts is an ammonium carbonate inhalant from Pure Rawz. Every batch is tested for 99% purity or better, and it’s sold for laboratory research only.
What is Smelling Salts?
Smelling salts are ammonium carbonate, sometimes with ammonia solution, that release ammonia vapor when opened.
They’ve been used since at least the 1600s, when they were called salt of hartshorn.
Smelling Salts ingredients
- Ammonium carbonate
How it works
Ammonia vapor irritates the lining of the nose and lungs, which triggers an inhalation reflex and a jolt of alertness.
Hold the container well away from the face.
What studies say about Smelling Salts
Research on ammonia inhalants is limited. A 2012 review by McCrory noted their use in sport and the lack of data on performance.
They’re used mostly by strength athletes before a lift.
The primary literature is on PubMed. Here’s a search to start from.

Using Smelling Salts in the lab
Nutrient research usually measures blood levels of the nutrient itself first, then the downstream markers, such as NAD+ levels, homocysteine, glutathione or inflammatory markers.
Baseline status matters a lot. Effects are usually larger in subjects that start out low, so measure it before exposure begins.
Keep the rest of the diet steady during a nutrient study. Changes in food intake can swamp a small supplement effect.

How to store Smelling Salts
Store capsules, tablets and powder in a cool, dry place out of direct light, with the lid closed tight. Write the date you opened or mixed it on the label, so anyone else in the lab knows how old it is.
Working with it safely
Treat it as a lab chemical. Gloves and safety glasses are the minimum, and a clean, uncluttered workspace cuts down on mix-ups.
Store prepared solutions apart from untouched stock, and record who mixed what and when.
