Lipovitan

Lipovitan (or the short form Livita or Livo in Thailand ) is a licensed by the Japanese company Taishō Seiyaku energy drink.

Red Bull, Lipovitan -D, M -150 and other brands are offshoots of existing early as the 1960s Lipovitan.

In East Asia, it is commonly sold in brown 100 ml bottles. The liquid has marketed a yellowish hue and is used as a means of physical and mental performance enhancement. The main active ingredient is taurine, which amplifies the stimulant caffeine also containing. There is a complete family Lipovitan in Japan. Stronger variants such Lipovitan D Super or Lipovitan - D Plus ( in Thailand) outperform the content of Red Bull clearly, for example, 2000 mg of taurine and 300 mg of arginine.

Health authorities of different countries warn against taking these products. The warning is to not only damage the extremely high sugar content, but also the risk that the stimulating effect can result in cardiac and vascular patients to death. In Thailand, extremely strong products were therefore already prohibited.

Lipovitan is traded in English speaking countries under the name Libogen.
