What's Inside Lipovitan?
Key Ingredients That Give You Energy
The main ingredient in Lipovitan drinks is something called taurine. Taurine is an amino acid that helps your body work properly.
There are different types of Lipovitan, each with slightly different ingredients:
- Lipovitan D is a stronger version. It has 1000 milligrams (mg) of taurine. It also contains 20 mg of nicotinic acid extract (which is a type of vitamin B3). Plus, it has 5 mg each of vitamins B1, B2, and B6, and 50 mg of caffeine.
- Lipovitan D Super is even stronger. It contains 2000 mg of taurine. It also has 300 mg of arginine, another amino acid.
- MAXIO is the strongest version mentioned. It has a large amount of taurine, 3000 mg!
Important Safety Information
All Lipovitan products have a warning label. It says that you should not drink more than 100 ml (one bottle) per day. This is important to make sure you stay safe and healthy.
You can buy Lipovitan products in Japan. They are also sold in stores in other countries that offer Asian products.
