Lipovitan (リポビタン, Ripobitan), marketed in some English-speaking countries under the name Libogen and Livita, is an energy drink manufactured by Taisho Pharmaceutical Co. and its licensee Osotspa.
Widely available in Asia, it retails in brown-colored translucent 100 ml bottles and has a distinctive bright yellow color.
The introduction of Lipovitan predates Red Bull's precursor Krating Daeng by 14 years, having been first released in 1962.
