The best product I've ever purchased for health by valparks ,Feb 20 '06
Pros: Stops colds before they get really bad.Reduces trips to the doctor for antibiotics. Cons: It used to be out of stock. Now it is stocked well.
I have told every one I've met who has cold or flu symptoms about this product! I started using it for my children (half of tablet for kids ) back in 2004 after seeing the inventor on Oprah.
We no longer have to take antibiotics as we used to.
I highly recommend this product, I can't express how grateful I am to have it !
Pros: easy to take, lemon,lime flavor is pretty good. Cons: wish there were more tablets in the tube.
Started feeling under the weather and while cruising the cough/cold isle at the pharmacy, Airborne caught my eye. I remember seeing the commercials and thought...why not try it. Reading the ingredients it seemed to be a good boost to my immune system, and so far so good. I feel pretty good, no real signs of the cold anymore.
I could do a commercial for this product! by jethrodfrog ,Jan 28 '06
Pros: It got rid of my cold! Need I say any more? Cons: expensive
I took it at the first signs of getting a cold...and it worked!! It was awesome! I just can't say enough about the product. I don't know if I overkilled it, because I took it for three days, or until the product was gone. That is the one problem with this product is it doesn't tell you when to stop taking it. But all in all, well recommended!
Kept me healthy when my whole family had the Flu. by bhardy1018 ,Jan 15 '06
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: I actually love the lemon flavor. its like medicated crystal light.It may work? Cons: Expensive... it may not work?
Tried airborne a couple times at first notice of feeling weird... still got extremely sick. Looking at the ingredients I'm not so sure... they are all pretty normal herbs I could get fresh around the corner for cheaper... and some have had very mixed results (take Echinacea for instance...) I dunno... I'd rather just get quality herbs/vitamins of the ones that I know work (for less money), and plenty of rest.
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 flus 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: Only need to use a small amount of water. Taste is quite tolerable. Cons: None as long as it remains available in stores!
Typically, I have gotten two colds a year - 1 in summer and 1 in winter. However, last year I ran myself down quite a bit and since October, I have been sick EVERY month with nasty colds and fatigue... until now (June).
I tried Airborne around mid-month when I felt my usual symptoms starting even though they weren't severe. The cold never fully developed and I went back to feeling normal in short order. Then a few days ago, I came down with a bad sore throat, I was sneezing all day and feeling crappy. I ran to several stores that night and found Airborne and starting taking it immediately. The next day, I wasn't sneezing, the congestion was minimized, and most of the sore throat was gone. Today, I feel perfectly fine again! I'm still taking it today to make sure the cold will not appear and then I'll taper off again.
This is the first month that I have not gotten sick since October and I'm thrilled! I am going to extol the virtues of Airborne to everyone.
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.
I don't have proof... but it works for me. by neenermd ,Apr 11 '05
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.
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.
Product Works Great - Delivery from Company is HORRIBLE by kjf1 ,Feb 01 '05
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.
I can't believe how well it works! by raceis ,Dec 30 '04
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: 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: The pros are these tablets work!!! Cons: None at all. The taste was not a factor to me.
Yesterday I felt a virus coming on. I had already purchased Airborne but had not used it yet. I took a tablet and it did just what it promises, it killed the virus that I felt coming probably surely brought on by this strange cold weather here in Chicago in mid August. I will swear to the fact that I immediately started to feel better very soon after swallowing down this magic formula. Who cares about taste when the products does its job. I will swallow a brick if it would make me fell better. A bit pricey in some drug chains but Walmart sells it for $5.00 and some change. Well worth it. Check your local Target stores too.
The bottom line is this, this product will have you up and around in no time flat, run don't walk and purchase these miracle tablets! God bless the woman who invented Airborne!!!!
