El árnica puede presentarse entre otras, en forma de aceite, tintura o en gotas para consumo oral o aplicación directa. Lo mismo ocurre con la raíz de garra del diablo (Harpagophytum), que puede presentarse como extracto líquido o comotintura, entre otras. La idea de que LP aluda a liquid presentation no es más que un educated guess, pero encuentro que podría tener sentido en el contexto dado (presentación como [en forma de] extracto líquido), si bien no he encontrado ejemplos en el que aparezca el acrónimo LP tal y como utilizado en el texto del OP.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Aunque los nombres de los productos están en inglés, son documentos en castellano. Por eso es en ESP>ENG. También complicaba identificar el significado de las siglas. "liquid presentation tiene mucho sentido"

Asker: Confusing to translate, as it seems to be English in a Spanish document. My best guess is the product came from an English supplier, hence it was in English

neutral  philgoddard: This sounds like a guess unless you give references.

  -> Yes, you are right. It is actually an educated guess that fits within the context. Both arnica and devil's claw can be found as liquid extracts, among others.
neutral  Monica Colangelo: LP está en español, Chema. También me confundí al principio cuando vi devil's claw
3 hrs
  -> Ups!? I have just seen the ESP>ENG. ¿Sin embargo tanto arnica (árnica) como devil's claw sugieren que esta es -o debería ser- una ENG>ESP? Me resultaría realmente extraño ver ligado un acrónimo español a un término en inglés (¡como devil's claw!)
agree  Marie Wilson: Who knows, but liquid something was my first thought before you had even posted, and I also thought that it had to be an Eng abbreviation.

  -> Yeap, thanks -although I kind of like "who knows" as an answer here ;)
