The standard 
Potion and the most recognizable healing-support item in Monster Hunter Wilds, the potion, when consumed, generates a small amount of player health. Easily accessible from the start of the game, whether through purchase from a vendor or crafted using honey, potions are the most common healing support item that players will have access to.
While invariably useful, potions rank low when compared to other healing-support items - not due to their lack of effectiveness on the battlefield but because of how potent they are as a health-support item. They just yield a small amount of health compared to other items.

Lifepowder tops the common potion and is a quintessential healing support item that every player should have in their arsenal. It operates similarly to potions, generating a small amount of health; however, it excels over the potion in terms of functionality in a few ways.
Firstly, life powder is not consumed; it is thrown in the air, offering faster health recovery times compared to the common potion. Secondly, once used, life powder heals nearby players, aiding multiple hunters when they are attempting to take down even the toughest monsters.

A more powerful version of lifepowder, 
Dust of Life, heals players and nearby allies, granting them a large amount of health upon use. While particularly useful during challenging monster fights, dust of life is expensive to purchase and takes a fair few materials to craft.
Nevertheless, it is an effective item that the best hunters use to support themselves and their allies when taking down the toughest monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. For those who can afford it, it's definitely worth the cost.

While sounding delightful, the 
Well-done Steak is more than a delicious treat in Monster Hunter Wilds; it's an unrivaled stamina and health-boosting item. Particularly useful if hunters have skipped a meal before heading out on a hunt, the hearty roast restores a large amount of health and stamina upon being consumed.

These are some of the freshest monsters Capcom has created since the series debuted in 2004.
This healing-support item also boosts health and stamina gauges, allowing hunters to take and do more damage on the battlefield. Due to its dual health and stamina-related effects, the well-done steak ranks slightly higher than the more common healing-support items in Monster Hunter Wilds.
4 Mega Potion
Allows For Efficient and Reliable Healing

What the 
Mega Potion lacks compared to the well-done steak, it more than makes up for with its large health-boosting properties. It excels in its ease of crafting, with the simple combination of potions and honey being needed to create a single mega potion.
This means that hunters can stock up quickly on mega potions (unlike other items, like the well-done steak), whether at camp or on the fly when tracking a monster. The mega potion is a staple of a hunter's healing-support arsenal.
3 Mega Armorskin
The Ultimate Defense Boost

Mega Armorskin is a healing support item that boosts a player's defensive capabilities by 25 points across a 30-minute timespan. This item is the best defense-boosting consumable in Monster Hunter Wilds, and it's far more potent than the basic armorskin crafted using adamant seeds. Consequently, only the best hunters use mega armorskin to ensure that their armor is fortified to the maximum during the toughest fights.
The opposite of mega armorskin, mega demondrug boosts attack power by a staggering amount when in the thick of battle. Mega demondrug provides the best attack power boost in Monster Hunter Wilds, giving players the advantage. These items are at the top of their respective classes.
2 Max Potion
Maximum Health Restoration

The second-best healing-support item in Monster Hunter Wilds, the 
Max Potion restores a hunter's total health and increases the size of their health gauge for a limited time. Health restoration is one thing, but increasing one's maximum health truly takes the healing-support item to the next level.
Second only to one other Monster Hunter Wilds healing-support item, the max potion is a must-have for Monster Hunter Wilds players and even fans of the series.
1 Ancient Potion
Ultimate Health and Stamina

The 
Ancient Potion is the best healing-support item in Monster Hunter Wilds. Consuming this item will maximize the player's health and stamina and extend their gauges for a long period of time. Effectively, the ancient potion combines the best elements of the max potion and the well-done steak while providing a few extra perks - making it a pure powerhouse in healing and support abilities.
Every hunter tackling the toughest and most brutal monsters should have an ancient potion to hand. Unfortunately, only one is permitted per bag, so smart use is recommended.
