Football Smelling Salts — Hard Hitting (Ammonia Inhalant)

Football is a game of violent, explosive moments: the snap, the collision, the goal-line stand. Ward Football Smelling Salt is made for players who want to be locked in when those moments come.

Our hard-hitting ammonia formula delivers an intense, unmistakable hit the moment you uncap it. It's the pre-game ritual that gets the whole sideline fired up, and it's strong enough that one bottle can be passed around the entire bench, game after game.

One bottle lasts for months. Keep the cap on tight and it stays potent from your first practice to your last game of the season. And because the best football is played when the weather turns, our formula holds up in the cold months, so it keeps hitting hard on frozen late-season sidelines.

Why football players keep it on the sideline

• Hard hitting. Our Football formula delivers a sharp, intense ammonia hit with no fillers and no fluff. One sniff and you'll know exactly why it says "Hard Hitting" on the label.
• One bottle lasts for months. A single 32 g bottle holds up through months of regular use. Keep the cap tight between uses and it stays strong from training camp through the playoffs.
• Built for the whole bench. Pass it down the sideline before kickoff, between series, or at halftime. One bottle has more than enough strength to go around the entire team.
• Cold-weather ready. Late-season football means freezing sidelines. Our formula keeps hitting hard in the cold months of the season, when you need it most.
• Made by a Canadian company. Ward Smelling Salts has been making premium smelling salts for athletes since 2019. Durable, compact bottle that fits in a gear bag, locker, or sideline kit.

How to use Football Smelling Salts

Add a spoonful of water to activate and seal the bottle. To use, uncap it and hold the bottle 10–15 cm (4–6 in) below your nose, then sniff gently. Start further away and move closer to adjust intensity. Never inhale directly from the opening. Recap tightly after use.

Caution: For use by adults. Not recommended for people with asthma or respiratory conditions. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.
