Airborne advertises itself as keeping you from getting sick in a crowded environment, like a plane, and helping to cure a cold more quickly. Neither of these claims are true. I attempted to use Airborne many times to help end a cold, but not once have I noticed a shorter cold. I also took it on a plane once and I got the flu a couple of days afterwards (luckily it was a business trip, not a leisure trip). I've since read that they had to take off some of the "scientific" claims that it works because the company that did the research was founded by someone associated with the creator of Airborne, and was only created for only one experiment - testing Airborne. Surprise, then, that they found out how amazing it was!

I know that Airborne has received a bad rap over the last year for not working and misleading people into thinking it can cure the cold, but this really is a good product. The second I start feeling under the weather, I take this product and after a day or so, the onsets of my cold is gone. It has tons of great vitamins. It's worth a shot to try in my opinion.

A friend bought this for me, but I already knew it did not work. It has inhuman amounts of vitamin C that no normal human could possibly need. The company recently started refudning money to those that bought the product because there was a lawsuit against them. If you really want some vitamin C, drink some orange juice. Airborne doesn't even taste good.

None! A total waste of money.

I tried Airborne at the suggestion of some co-workers. So i tried it at the onset of some coughing and discomfort. By the next morning it was gone. I am not saying that it stopped a cold but it did end whatever I had going on that afternoon.
