[[File:Strength potion (4) detail.png|left|120px|A strength potion with 4 doses]]

A '''Strength potion''' is an item that temporarily raises a player's [[Strength]] level by 3 + 10% of their strength level (rounded down) when they drink it.

[[Pay-to-play|Members]] can make a strength potion with 3 doses by mixing [[Clean tarromin|tarromin]] to a [[vial of water]] and then adding [[limpwurt root]]. This requires level 12 [[Herblore]], and gives 50 [[experience]].

[[Free-to-play|Non-Members]] can buy up to 1000 of "Strength Potion" every 4 hours at [[Grand Exchange]], which sums up all the variants of the potion. For example, they can buy 500 potions with 3 doses and 4 doses at the same time, or 250 potions for 1, 2, 3, 4 doses respectively. They cannot make the potion as it requires Herblore.

However, as with all potions, a [[vial]] can hold up to 4 doses. Potions of less than four doses can be combined by ''using'' them with each other. Players can take a [[limpwurt root]] and [[red spiders' eggs]] to the [[Apothecary]] in [[Varrock]], and he will make a 4-dose Strength Potion for 5 coins. No Herblore level is required for this, and even non-members can obtain strength potions this way. However, take note that the limpwurt root and red spiders' egg can't be noted when doing this. Doing this may or may not be profitable depending on market fluctuation. At current prices, purchasing this potion from the Apothecary will result in {{Profit|sell={{GEPrice|Strength potion (4)|n}}|buy={{#expr:{{GEPrice|Limpwurt root|n}}+{{GEPrice|Red spiders' eggs|n}}+5}}}} compared to simply buying the potion at the GE and selling the ingredients there as well.

Members whose [[Attack]] and [[Strength]] levels add up to 130 or more can go to the [[Warrior Guild Potion Shop]] and buy a now limited number of strength potions from [[Lilly]] for 1,200 coins each.

They are the only useful potion available to non-members (a [[cadava potion]] was only for the quest [[Romeo and Juliet]] (now removed), the [[voice of doom potion]] was for the [[2007 Hallowe'en event]], and a [[potion]] is useless). Adding [[roe]] or [[caviar]] to a 2-dose potion it will become a 2-dose [[strength mix]] which heals 30 [[life points]] per dose.

Because strength potions are widely used for [[Player killing]], some people sell these potions for high prices in front of the wilderness border. There was also a huge boom in strength potions when player killing and [[Bounty Worlds]] came out a while back and sold for relatively high prices in non-members worlds.

As an alternative, members can utilise [[super strength]] or [[extreme strength]] potions.

It should be noted that using a dose of a strength potion will NOT stack with the special from the [[dragon battleaxe]].

A [[Grimy tarromin]] must be cleaned in order to become a [[Clean tarromin]] which if added to a [[Vial of water]]; will make a [[Tarromin potion (unf)]].

==Trivia==
*After the announcement on 17 January 2011 that the [[wilderness]] and free trade would return, the price of this item began to rise dramatically. Its price increased by around 250gp in 5 days.
*Using strength potions can help make training easier because of the greater chance of hitting higher than normal [[strength]]. This will help gain [[experience]] faster.
