Despite the fantastical-sounding English names, it seems that potions and elixirs are literally just ordinary medicine. Bulbapedia suggests that revives are based on Konpeito candy. And lemonade is actually supposed to be some sort of milk soda?
But I can't find anything about the inspiration for the X Items. Their Dream World artwork makes them look like pills but the Chinese (Cantonese) name for X Speed refers to it as a tool rather than anything like medicine, and the Wonder Launcher seems to suggest the same. too.
