Airborne Formula

Has anyone used the Airborne Formula before to help with a cold?

I have plans this weekend and hope this helps me get better along with the usual remedies.

Die cold germs!!!

Some of my teacher friends swear by it and take it the second they think they're getting sick. I showed it to one of my friends who is a doctor, and she laughed at it. She said that I would be just as well off as taking a chewable vitamin C and drinking lots of water. I still use it occasionally and figure what does it hurt? I don't get sick often so it seems to work for me!

The minute I feel a cold coming on, I take a tablet (or 2) from GNC that's a combination of Vitamin C, zinc, and echinea. Maybe it's the placebo effect, but it's never failed me.

Airborne rocks!

I have it but haven't tried it yet. I have used the Zicam swabs and they've worked like a charm.

I have heard that echinacea doesn't do much, but Vitamin C definitely does. I take vitamin c EVERY day, sick or not. When I went to the dr. last week he was impressed that I do that and said it's a good idea, especially during flu season.

I've used the Airborne once, and I liked it. I normally use that Emergen-C stuff, which I swear by. The Tangerine flavor is best, and when I get sick, I drink this stuff like it's going out of style. I highly recommend it.

Airborne is the best! I always got sick after air travel. There's nothing worse than returning from a trip to a pile of work with sinus infection or runny nose. Now that I faithfully take Airborne, it doesn't happen any more.

That is a good idea. I also try to drink Emergen-C around this time of year, and especially when travelling-but half the time I forget.

Airbourne is excellent! It really helped my colds.

Love it, wish it tasted better tho! I'm not a fan of the orange at all.

They are working for me so far. I mean, I'm not superman or anything, but it's not hurting.

A combination of Airborne and Zicam has usually worked for me...trick is to take it the minute I get sick.
