Airborne Review Summary

Airborne gets a very high approval rating from reviewers who love the way Airborne boosts their immune systems! Airborne is available over the counter and helps to ward off colds, flu, sore throats, and many other symptoms and illnesses. Airborne is easy to take in tablet formula that is also flavored. This makes it perfect for the entire family and a “must have” medicine cabinet product for winter and the “flu” season. So are there any negative things about Airborne? Not many! The complaints we have seen are that consumers wish that Airborne was available in more flavors and thar it has a high sodium content. Check out some of our reviews on vitamins , another way to give your immune system a boost!

I have been an Airbourne user for many years. I started taking it when I first heard it helped protect you from catching colds from others when you fly. I always take Airborne before and I after I fly, but I also take it anytime i get the feeling I'm coming down with a cold. I would recommend this product... read full review »

This product leaves much to be desired. My husband and I used it on several occasions before airplane flights. It just didn't work for us - we still caught colds and felt awful. The herbs in the product can also radically change your BMs to a soft consistency (probably too much information here, but...

Besides a potent combination of vitamins and amino acids, Airborne has the most reliable Chinese herbal formula to stop respiratory infections.

  This makes it useful for anytime you are around contagious people, and feel a sore throat/drainage/headache or fever coming on.  Between keeping my hands clean and having Airborne on hand, I just don't get sick anymore.

I have seen it at my grocery store, office newsstand/convenience store, and Target and WalMart. I'm sure it's easier to find than similar products that are only available at health food stores.

Too busy to be sick!, always fighting a cold

I don't know if this stuff works, but since your mind plays as big a role in getting you fit, as does your body, I religiously take Airborne at the slightest fear of the onset of a cold.  The fizzy liquid (first it is a tablet that sits in water and transforms) always makes my throat think that something good is happening to it.  And the thought of thousands of milligrams of vitamins coming my way always makes me feel better. 

More expensive than its competitors, Airborne tastes better than its competitors, so I never bother with the others. I also love the Airborne gummy lozenges, although...

Our family of four, (Mom, Dad, 5 yr old and 3 yr old ) had been sick since November when I visited my 19 year old neice in mid March.  She listened to my complaints and said she had tried yogurt, cold medicines, acidophilus and other stuff also and then finally tried Airborne and it worked.  I figured we had nothing to lose, so the next day after going to the gym (where I could only do 6 minutes instead of my normal 20 40 on the elliptical machine) I bought 2 packages of the Airborne Lemon Lime flavored drop in fizzing kind of supplement.  It tasted like lemon lime soda.  You take it in 4-6...

So here we go with the airborne thing.  People say it didn't prevent me from getting sick, or it didn't make my cold go away.  Well, the thing is, it is an immunity booster, it is supposed to help boost your immune system to shorten the length of the cold you have.  And I believe it does that.  It has worked for me.  The few times I have been sick I have taken it and I never really get the cold completely.  The only bad thing I have to say is that no matter what flavor you get, it tastes nasty.   I just don't like the way things fizz in your mouth.  The way I have learned to fixed that...

I am a very busy mom of three very active kids.  I cannot afford to be ill.  My husband and I work opposite shifts and I am always on the go to different sports activities.  A cold is the last thing we need in my house.  Not that long ago, a nasty virus was going around in school and at my job.  I did not want to bring it home.  I had heard about Airborne so I decided to give it a try.  I bought the apple cider flavor tablets.  I dissolved the tabs in the hot water and I took it faithfully till the bottle was empty! I loved the taste which reminded me of hot apple cider.  I did not get... read full review »

I am not quite so fond of airborne.  It is recommended that you start taking it before a cold but to me, it is to expensive to start and keep taking it as often and as long as would be neccessary.  I also do not really like the way of taking it.  I can't stand the taste when I have to drink it.  You are getting all those vitamins and things from it though so I guess that is a great reason to take it.

I have family members who roll their eyes about Airborne and think that I'm a sucker for falling into a big ol' marketing trap ... they say it's nothing but fizzy vitamins. But you know what?  They still get sick, and I don't ... and I give all the credit to Airborne.

Whenever I travel, I'm surrounded by coughing, sneezing people and I used to get sick after plane flights without fail (all that illness in the recirculating air for hours!). I can't tell you how many vacations and business trips were ruined by colds.  But not since I discovered Airborne! Now, I always make sure to dose up on Airborne...

I know many people say that it is all in your head and that products like this really does not work but I think it does.  I love Airborne.  I think it was a great invention!!!  I hate the taste of it when it is disolved in water, I usually disolve mine in orange juice.  I use to just take Vitamin C or Echinacea when I felt like I was getting sick, but this seems to be much better for me.  And if it is just a placebo effect, but that is fine with me.  In case you don't know... A placebo is a sham medical intervention. In one common placebo procedure, a patient is given an inert sugar pill

Airborne is the best medication around nowadays. I love it. In fact, I would not use anything else. There are a lot of competitive products on the market, some generic, but I would not fool with them. If I went to a store and they didn't carry Airborne or if they were sold out (which is entirely possible because it's the best medicine), I would simply go to a store that carried it. I wouldn't use anything else because, frankly, they don't work as well. I know that there have been a lot of negative reviews in the press due to a lawsuit, but please don't let that persuade you into not getting Airborne....

Airborne is a blessing. When I am going to be around people with colds, I just take Airborne. It helps me avoid being sick with the same cold.

I have a habit of taking Airborne when flying. There are many people in a confined area and you never know what sort of germs you are going to encounter. This is a preventive measure.

Taking Airborne when going to a movie or attending a concert is also a wonderful way to protect yourself from unknown germs. The more people you are around, the more germs ther are.

This would also be a good to take when you are going to be around children. They are exposed...

I know some people don't believe Airborne really helps fight colds, but my family is so convinced we could be spokespeople for the product.  My husband, who is not a pill taker, will start taking Airborne at the first sign of cold symptoms.  My boys have heard me talk about it so much they tell their friends to use it if they are fighting a cold. 

I am a busy woman and don't have time to be sick.  So I would not waste my time or money on something I did not believe would work.  When I feel a cold coming on, or when I know there are lots of germs around, I start taking Airborne as directed...

Airborn, wells lets start out by saying that the comercials do it more justice that the actual medicine does.  I have used this just before a few recient airplane flights that I have had.  With people coughing all around me, I was really hoping that this product would do as it says and keep the germs away.  I guess I should have know better.  My stomach was in knots after taking it the three times that I took it.   Not only that, but it seems to leave a very weird taste in your mouth after you take it.  Twice I  ended up sick as can be.  I think Airborn leaves a lot to be desired....

I am a hairstylist. Every cold season I am exposed to so many germs. I am constantly washing my hands and cleaning door knobs and telephones. But I almost always get sick. I get Airborne as soon as I feel a cold coming on. And I drink 4 or 5 a day.

I actually like the way it tastes. It dissolves really quickly in water. I usually mix it with less water than recommended so that it doesn;t taste so watered down and I can drink it faster.  I think It really makes a difference in the recovery time for cold.

My husband is a Marine, so he doesn't have the option of calling in sick. He starts drinking...
