health potions

Restorative magical beverages

Health potions are consumable items in video games and fantasy settings that restore a character's vitality or hit points when drunk.

They're a staple of role-playing games, typically depicted as small vials of red liquid: I'm low on health potions—we should visit the shop before the boss fight.

The term sometimes extends humorously to real-world remedies or pick-me-ups: Coffee is my health potion.
