What is in NeoNitro?

[biom]

Is somebody by chance tested what is in NeoNitro?
They say ingredients are: purified water and proprietary nitrogen salts
Probably it is a language issue for me but I never heard the term "nitrogen salt", checked with google too . Yes there are nitrate salts, ammonium salts but nitrogen - it is not an acid or base to form salts???
Never mind back to the question - did somebody test it for nitrate or ammonia with our hobby tests?

Nitrate would be a nitrogen salt, as would ammonium and nitrite.

My speculation is that it is a some mix of sodium and potassium nitrate, but do not have any evidence of that, except it would be cheap, readily available, and matches their recipe for Boost pH+ (sodium and potassium hydroxide). Might also contain calcium nitrate.

I meant term "nitrogen salts" was new for me as it has no chemical sense in my language. If it was "nitrogen containing salts" then ok.

There could be ammonium/urea in it also, there are reports of elevated ammonia after Neonitro dosing.

Urea would not technically fit the description of a nitrogen salt, which must be charged to be a salt, but it wouldn't be especially surprising if Brightwell got that wrong.

Testing for ammonia should be trivial just by adding a base (any base) and smelling it.

Anybody with Neonitro and tests in hand to check for nitrate and ammonia?
