Summary: Misleading Marketing?
Comment: Ok, here's the marketing push:
"Product Features
*original orange flavor
*Unique all-natural formula of seven herbal extracts, antioxidants, electrolytes, and amino acids offers maximum vitamin and herbal support for hours
*Effervescent technology offers 100% immediate absorption; herbs come from whole plant material to ensure safety, purity and potency; pleasant orange flavor
Sounds great, huh?
Now take a look here:
"Other Ingredients: Citric Acid, Sorbitol, Sodium Bicarbonate, Natural Orange Flavor, Polyethylene Glycol, Aspartame, Mineral & Canola Oil, Riboflavin. No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives."
Polyethylene glycol?? What's that doing in there? Get over your cold, but get the runs and maybe cancer instead? And it seems it's especially problematic for children? (Search "polyethylene glycol" + "danger"). For example, see this: [...]
Mineral & Canola oil--this wouldn't be the typical hydrogenated and unhealthy kinds, would it?
Aspartame is natural?? It's an added artificial sweetener--or did I miss something? And personally, it's not something I would want to be taking, especially when I was sick ([...]).
Stuff like that makes me wonder, where do the other ingredients really come from?
It also makes me wonder, why are unhealthy ingredients unnecessarily put in "this will make you healthy" things? What will they do to me and my children?
So sorry, Airborne, your marketing seems pretty misleading and makes it hard to trust you. Would you like to explain, and perhaps get rid of a two-star review?

Summary: Very Good Product
Comment:
As with most over-the-counter vitamins and remedies, Airborne is not "all things to all people." Personally, I have had excellent results with it. If taken at the very first sign of a cold it either arrests the cold or mitigates the symtoms. The naysayers, including scientific medical journals, can have their say. Airborne may not work for everyone but it works well for me and my family.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I'll admit the box has great artwork!
Comment: The truth is that there is no reliable clinical evidence that shows that Airborne is at all effective in reducing symptoms or preventing the common cold. The one "clinical study" performed, at the behest of the company, is of extremely dubious quality (and the link to this study is not even on the product's web site any longer). While I have met people who have said that Airborne helps them, this is almost certainly a placebo effect. If you wish to research this product, Scientific American, The New York Times, and the "Orac Knows" blog web sites have good articles on it, and a little digging will find many more. Zinc lozenges, on the other hand, do have some clinical data to back up their efficacy, so I would highly recommend that you spend your money there instead.

Summary: FORGET ABOUT THE FLU SHOT AND TAKE THIS DURING THE COLD AND FLU SEASON!
Comment: I use to catch a cold or flu virus about once or twice a year. But ever since I discovered Airborne ( 3 years ago ) I have not caught these viruses. I have honestly not had a cold or flu virus IN THE LAST 3 YEARS! The routine that works for me is to take just one tablet every couple of days but ONLY during the cold and flu season. This is an excellent product that I will continue to purchase and recommend for the rest of my life.
