Zone Bear Down Steel – Black Bear Smelling Salts

Unleash raw intensity with Zone Black Bear, a commercial-grade smelling salt from the elite Bear Down Steel Series, developed in collaboration with renowned strength athlete Travis “Papa Bear” Rogers.

Housed in a rugged steel bottle and dry-activated for immediate impact, Black Bear delivers a brutally clean ammonia hit designed for advanced lifters who demand maximum stimulation before heavy attempts.

Stronger than the original Bear Down Steel, this formula is built strictly for experienced users. A portion of proceeds supports the Papa Bear Strong Foundation—power with purpose.


Why Choose Black Bear?

  • Dry-Activated & Ready to Use – No water, no prep. Open and hit.
  • Advanced Strength Profile – Noticeably more aggressive than the original Bear Down Steel.
  • Commercial-Grade Ammonia – Trusted by elite strength athletes worldwide.
  • Steel Bottle Construction – Locks in potency and extends lifespan.
  • Charity-Driven Formula – Supports the Papa Bear Strong Foundation.

What’s Inside

  • Ingredients: Water, Sodium Carbonate, Ammonium Chloride
  • Scent Profile: Pure ammonia (no added fragrance)
  • Activation: Pre-activated, ready to use
  • Packaging: Steel bottle with twist lid and vacuum seal
  • Shelf Life: Approximately 1–6 months depending on use and storage

How to Use

  1. Twist the lid only — do not pull or remove the metal clip.
  2. Ensure the seal is tight after each use to prevent leaks or potency loss.
  3. Shake the bottle and tap the base to allow ammonia gas to rise.
  4. Crack the lid slightly or open fully depending on desired intensity.
  5. Always inhale from a full arm’s length away.
