Yeah Coca Cola was originally a “nerve tonic”. Coca leaves/extract were a regular ingredient of medicines, tonics, and even toothpaste.

Coca cola to this day still uses ‘vegetable extract’. What is the secret ingredient?

It’s actually not quite an exception, because cocaine is a Schedule II drug (can be prescribed as a vasoconstrictor or topical anesthetic) and the Maywood plant is the only facility licensed to produce pharmaceutical grade cocaine in the US.

So the coca leaf extract they sell to Coca-Cola is technically a byproduct.
