Lipovitan (or the short form Livita or in Thailand Livo ) is a product of the Japanese pharmaceutical company Taisho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ( 大 正 製 薬 株式会社 "Taishō Seiyaku Kabushiki-gaisha" ) licensed energy drink .

Lipovitan-D , M-150 and other brands are offshoots of the back in the 1960's existing Lipovitan . Lipovitan is traded in English-speaking countries under the name Libogen .

In East Asia, it is commonly sold in 100 ml brown bottles. The liquid has a yellowish hue and is marketed as a means of increasing physical and mental performance. The main active ingredient is taurine , which boosts the caffeine it also contains . There is a full family of products called Lipovitan in Japan. Stronger variants such as Lipovitan D Super or Lipovitan-D Plus (in Thailand) clearly exceed the content of the ingredients in Red Bull, for example with 2000 mg taurine and 300 mg arginine per 100 ml.

Health authorities in various countries warn against taking these stronger products. The warning not only concerns the harmfulness of the extremely high sugar content, but also the risk that the stimulating effect can lead to death in people with cardiovascular disease. Extremely strong products have therefore already been banned in Thailand.
