Notes

• Health Potion cannot be used at full health.
• Multiple Health Potions can be used while one is already active which will queue them up to be used after the previous completes (maximum 5 stacks).
• Using a Health Potion does not interrupt channeled spells.
• A used Health Potion gives an additional 10 health regeneration per second for 15 seconds, which can be improved by Spirit Visage.

Strategy

• It is a very useful item for nearly every champion early game due to its affordability but loses its effectiveness as champions' levels increase. The maximum health will be too substantial for it to be significant and any damage received would be too great.
• Using a Health Potion is particularly useful against damage over time effects when at low health as it may keep you alive in a close fight.
• Compared to the Refillable Potion, for the same price of 150, consuming three Health Potions can restore a total of 450 health one time, making them more effective for a single trip. However, the two charges of the refillable restore up to 250 health every trip to the shop for no additional cost. Finally, note that the two do not stack due to the Potion item limitation; buying a refillable will prevent the player from buying normal potions.
• When having trouble sustaining in lane, usually either top or mid as AD, consider either Doran's Blade or Health Potions. While AD champions might be tempted to buy Vampiric Scepter before their mythic at 900, given low (sub 150) total AD values and only 10% lifesteal it won't be able to provide enough sustain from trading and lane minions. Note that 900 is 18 health potions - or 2700 total health from regen.

Trivia

• During seasonal events, the Health Potion has been replaced by seasonal items with the same effect, but different names/pictures.
  • The Eggnog Health Potion was a seasonal item that replaced the Health Potion during the 2009, 2010, and 2011 Snowdown Showdown celebrations.
  • The Candy Corn was a seasonal item that replaced the Health Potion during the 2010 and 2011 Harrowing events.
  • The Phoenix Bun was another seasonal item that replaced the Health Potion during the Lunar Revel celebration.
• According to Taric, the potion has a smooth consistency. Star Guardian Ahri and Ornn find the flavor to come in Strawberry or Cherry. It is possible that other red fruit flavors are made.
• Prior to Season Three, it used to be highly recommended to buy multiple Health Potions when jungling as it provided increased early-game survivability. The % health gain from jungling items reduced their utility.
