Italian term or phrase: bevibili di autodiagnosi
I'm not sure how to translate this term. They are small bottles/phials containing dietary supplements in liquid form.

OTC drinkable (supplements)
Explanation:
Hi Jules,
"di autodiagnosi" = Over The Counter (OTC)

According to context, you could also say *OTC drinkables* but I _think_ "drinkables" is a registered trade mark

more specifically
autodiagnosi = self diagnosis

I think we're really talking about *automedicazione*
... unless these supplements can be used to diagnose a given condition ?
I doubt so ;-)

Farmaci di Automedicazione
Per quanto riguarda le specialità da banco (OTC, dall'inglese "over the counter") la filosofia aziendale è improntata ai principi dell’automedicazione responsabile. “Automedicazione” è un termine ricorrente e, secondo la definizione ufficiale dell’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità, indica il prendersi cura della propria salute ricorrendo all'autodiagnosi.

agree  awilliams: I like a mix of both your answers - "liquid supplements" is a bit more widespread (IMO) than "drinkable supplements"; "over-the-counter liquid supplements"?//I imagine this is what they are getting at (?)
