Airborne Effervescent Health Formula Dietary Supplement Tablets, Adult Formula

Pros: Works for me what more can I say?
Cons: After the Cold is already in progress I didn't see that much benefit.

I'm 62 yrs. young and somewhat "Crusty" ........usually I just don't buy into claims of get well quick snake oil remedies. I've used Airborne now for about 2 years and it is fantastic stuff and works for me. I try and take it as directed when I know someone close to me has the making of a Cold headed their way. It has stopped colds in their tracks for me.

Pros: Easy to use. Seems to work against flu as well as cold viruses.
Cons: Tastes unusual, but not too bad. I put mine in Gator-Ade.

I bought Airborne at the recommendation of several people at work. I was skeptical that herbal potions really worked, but I decided to try it. My two daughters, my wife, and my mom and dad all came down with a nasty stomach flu 2 days after a family get-together. At the first sign of illness in them, I started taking Airborne as a test. A week after having direct contact with my children's various coughs, sneezes, and vomits (sorry), I never contracted ANY sign of the flu. This virus was EXTREMELY contagious, and I have never avoided a bug that my whole family came down with before. So, based on my trial run, I recommend Airborne as a fast response to any cold OR flu virus that may come knocking at your door.

Pros: Believe the hype
Cons: none

There really isn't much I can say about this product that hasn't been mentioned by everyone else. This is a great preventative product for getting a cold. When you feel the prelude to a cold, slight tickle in your throat or feeling run down this is what you need.

I've used this product all winter when I felt a cold coming on or when I've been in contact with sick people / kids and its kept me from getting sick.

Not sure how much this would help if your already sick.

Pros: Easy, low $, taste, it works amazingly - i swear
Cons: Everyone is sold out!!!! Its very hard to find.

Airborne is a miracle worker. I first started taking airborne a couple of weeks ago when I was deathly ill with the flu. I know the directions say to take it at the first sign of a cold, but I took it in the middle of my flu. I took one cup at night (with heated water so it tasted like tea) and within two hours it had eliminated my fever. I slept on it and the next morning, it cleared up my congestion, I could finally breathe through my nose. The following day I was much, much better. And the ginger helps so much since cold medicine makes my nauseous. It was so nice taking something that I was able to keep down. Ever since then every time I feel a scratch in my throat or start feeling the pressure behind the eyes, I turn to airborne. I have a feeling I wont be sick anymore this winter!

Pros: Effectiveness
Cons: Delivery from Company - HORRIBLE

This product works great! This is the first winter that I haven't gotten the full-blown flu and barely had any colds at all. As far as delivery from the company - the worst experience ever! I placed the order on the 10th of the month, the order wasn't even processed until the 19th and I didn't receive the package until the 28th. I had to order through the company because Oprah mentioned the product on her television show and you could not find it in any drugstore.

Pros: It works, it's easy, it's compact, it's inexpensive and did I mention it WORKS!
Cons: None!

Do you remember Tang??? Tastes just like it but you feel great after taking it!

It really is an amazing product. I used to get sick every month for at least a week... No really my friends and co-works would often say "Are you sick again?". And I would get really sick, out for days sometimes weeks at a time.

In the past year I've only been sick twice and I would categorize them as "just a little under the weather."

I suggest to read the directions and take it as often as it will allow you too during a cold.

I love the gummi lozenges too I keep a package on me at all times.

OH and p.s. it's a great hang-over remedy too.. Not sure if they intended it for that though.

Pros: I have no comment.
Cons: AIRBORNE is a very dangerous product in combination with blood thinners;Warfarin, resulting in internal bleeding!

After taking Airborne for 5 days my INR level jumped from its consistent 3.0 level to above 6.0 (possibly greater since I quit taking Airborne two days prior to INR testing. This level caused me to bleed internally. Once I stopped taking Airborne my blood level is now returning to a safe level.

I wrote the Airborne people with my comments suggesting they provide a warning for people on Blood Thinners! Their reply to me was: "Always consult with your doctor prior to taking over the counter products!"

Pros: It works!
Cons: The orange zest flavor is quite nasty. Expensive - $6.99 @ Walgreens.

I'm around sick kids all day everyday and have not gotten sick yet. I don't take 1 every 3 hours like the dosage says otherwise I'd go through a tube of tablets a day! All & All this product is worth a try.

Pros: IT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS!!! Did I mention that it works?
Cons: ALWAYS SOLD OUT DURING COLD SEASON!!! STOCK UP!!!

I have always suffered from violent colds and flu’s lasting 5-7 days. Now my mild colds last only a day or two! The trick is to take it every 3 hours... no exceptions! I even set an alarm during the night... I know it may sound extreme but I've only had three SUPER MILD colds in the past year! These tablets are worth every penny and the taste... it's just like Orange Tang! No problem.

Pros: It seems to work for some people
Cons: Got very sick regardless of using Airborne

I have mixed thoughts about this product. At first it seemed to help fight off the viral illnesses I get every winter, where the symptoms go away quickly. However, the after effects of a cold still linger, like voice trouble (I'm a singer and can't afford to lose my voice). This past winter, while taking Airborne regularly, I picked up 2 nasty viral illnesses that I have not had in years and one of them lasted for 2 weeks. This is why I can't really say if this product even works for me. Maybe I'll find out next winter.

Pros: I haven't been sick all year!
Cons: Expensive, hard to find. About 60-70 cents a tablet can mean about $3 a day.

I am a huge skeptic when it comes to these things. I am a physician and I generally try to investigate these alternative ideas before I believe in them. But the truth is, I work in a hospital, all day, almost every day of the week. On at least 4 separate occasions, I have started to feel a cold coming on (sore throat, fatigue, headache, runny nose), and my mom bought me some Airborne so I figured it couldn't HURT. Since I started taking the stuff (about 6 months ago, throughout the entire winter and cold season) I have not had one cold. Not one. Usually I have about 3-4 colds every winter because of all of the sick people at work. So I have decided that Airborne works for me, until I can prove otherwise.

Pros: A lot of good ingredients, convenient, good taste, makes you feel better.
Cons: Unfairly grossly penalized for original advertising claims and studies not done by experts.

I am one of the people that love Airborne - when I have a cold, I usually take this too late - way after the cold has manifested, and I think to buy some. However, I notice in a few minutes my nose has opened up significantly, and my sneezing has slowed or stopped.  It just plain makes me feel better for a couple hours.

Pros: Easy to take and I really believe it works.
Cons: None, if you add the juice.

Just a note to say that I tried adding some orange juice to my lemon-lime flavored Airborne and it tastes great. I wait until the tablet has fully dissolved before I add the juice. I can’t imagine that doing this would decrease the effectiveness, but if someone knows otherwise please tell me.

Pros: Tastes good, easy to carry with you and very effective.
Cons: If I wait too long before starting the Airborne process, it doesn't seem to help.

I am one of those people who get everything that comes down the pipeline and when I get sick, I get very sick.
Airborne has been very effective for me.

I start taking it at the first sign of trouble and when traveling. Some time I take it just because. I have many grandchildren and it seems like a good idea to take it when they're around a great deal, like Christmas vacation and summer time.

Pros: Works well when taken before you are sick...not so much after.
Cons: If you are already sick does not work. Causes the worst gas ever w/upset stomach.

I am not a placebo effect person..I have been taking allergy medication since I was 6...a drug either works or it doesn't and it's very easy to tell in someone that has had to take a lot of medicine. Airborne works really well for me if i take it at the first sign of neck and knee pain (my first clue that i have a virus of some sort) If I wait till I am sick I really don't see that it helps much.
