Prior to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, these items were seldomly referred to in-game as a category. | |||
In {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}, two [[Non-player character|NPCs]] found on the fifth floor of the [[Celadon Department Store]] refer to them as '''ability enhancers''' (Japanese: '''{{j|のうりょくをあげるアイテム}}''' ''ability-raising items''). In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the same NPCs instead refer to them as '''stat enhancers''' (Japanese: '''{{j|のうりょくをあげるどうぐ}}''' ''ability-raising tools''). | |||
From Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen onwards, they are known as '''nutritious drinks''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|栄養|えいよう}}ドリンク}}''' ''nutritious drinks''). They have also been called '''Pokémon drinks''' in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. | |||
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, they are referred to as '''Pokémon vitamin drinks'''. | |||
The Japanese names of the individual items reveal them to be compounds such as {{wp|taurine}}, {{wp|bromhexine}}, {{wp|lysozyme}}, {{wp|chitosan}}, and {{wp|indometacin}}, which are used for treatment of the body. | |||
