Li Health Care comes from the world's second largest OTC pharmaceutical company, Taisho Pharmaceutical, which used to be on par with Red Bull's popularity, but suffered a loss in marketing and failed to occupy the global market. At present, Li Health Care is deeply involved in the Asian market, some products have taken off the blue hat of "health food", and integrated royal jelly and various Chinese herbal medicines into the formula, coupled with the unchanged tan bottle body of Li Health Care for many years, the overall positioning is getting closer to the tonics, this step is just stepping on the hearts of Asians, but in terms of its refreshing effect, the hero is still 20mg-50mg of caffeine per 100ml.
The brown bottle blue paper packaging is the most classic series of Li Health Care in China, it is basically the same formula as the main model of Li Health Care in Japan, Lipovitan D., the only difference is the caffeine content, the Chinese version is 20mg/100ml, while the Japanese version is 50mg/100ml, which directly leads to the Japanese version of the refreshing efficiency is significantly better than the Chinese version. However, the most eye-catching thing on the packaging of both versions is that it contains 1000mg of taurine per 100ml. Under the propaganda of various manufacturers, most people believe that taurine is a guarantee of refreshing and anti-fatigue in energy drinks. In fact, taurine is indeed an amino acid that plays an important role in the body's metabolic process, and it is found in large quantities in the human brain, heart and muscle, but there is no strong scientific evidence that it can directly lift people like caffeine, so blindly believing in high taurine is completely unnecessary. However, taurine has a positive effect on improving heart function and improving exercise capacity, and caffeine can also promote fat burning, so drinking 30-60 minutes before exercise may make exercise performance more eye-catching.
The other two products in the Chinese market, ginseng royal jelly type, added ginseng ingredients, but the content is uncertain, and the refreshing efficiency is not significantly improved when the caffeine content is equal to that of the classic type; The other Yiren pack focuses on iron supplementation and does not contain caffeine, which is closer to a tonic than an energy drink.
The taste of Liwei Health is just like its packaging, full of medicinal flavors. Some describe it as smelling like raw bean paste with dirt, and it's hard to imagine it as a drink. It has a sweet and sour taste, and the two flavors are very raw but not blending, in addition to the smell of medicine. Those who like it say that it is very similar to sour plum soup, and those who don't like it smack their tongues and find it difficult to swallow. The three flavors are almost the same, among which Yiren is sweeter, but the palatability is still poor, and it will be easier to eat it in the mood of drinking medicine.
