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.
Members can make a strength potion with 3 doses by mixing tarromin to a vial of water and then adding limpwurt root. This requires level 12 Herblore, and gives 50 experience.
Non-Members can buy the strength potion from the Grand Exchange depending on the number of doses. 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 current prices. Purchasing this potion from the Apothecary will result in a gain of -5650 coins 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.

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.
