Product Reviews of Airborne Effervescent Health Formula Dietary Supplement, Lemon-Lime, 10-Count Containers (Pack of 3)
Product Review: Very effective, but over-packaged
Summary: 4 Stars
I cannot say enough about this product! If I use it aggressively when I've either been around sick people or feel something coming on, I've stayed well. I also find one tablet is a good energy lift for afternoon slumps.
The only complaint I have is the packaging. I wish the creator of this product would be more mindful of the environment -- especially since she's a school teacher and garbage pollutes the earth for children. The tubes are not recyclable in many areas of the country and the lids aren't recyclable anywhere.
And, each tube contain only 10 tablets. I'd like the company to make larger tubes AND offer refills. (If Necco can come in wax paper wrappers, these thick tablets can too.) NOTE: Yes, I've written to the company about this.
Product Review: Works Well at Keeping you Well...Our Personal Experiences
Summary: 5 Stars
A doctor perceiving "Echinacea" can perform over "Airborne" does not suprise me, but the facts are "Echinacea" has been proven to be: USELESS. A doctor perceiving cheaper forms of vitamins are available is technically correct; however: formulation is EVERYTHING and most vitamins esp. cheaper ones will not be absorbed at even a fraction of the dosage recommended.
I do wholeheartedly concur that being low in Zinc can and will contribute to illness, both viral and bacterial.
For those who have "taken Airborne and still gotten ill", every situation is different...I would contend if one's husband has a very nasty cold, "Airborne" was not formulated to protect you from your dear hubby's viral and/or bacterial infection if dear hubby continues close quarters with you upon onset of his infection. Common sense must prevail in all instances.
My family of three has taken "Airborne" for over three years with great success and yet we each experience the product differently: I actually take at least one "Airborne" a day FOR the Zinc and Potassium and Manganese, etc., because I am disabled by CFS with Fibromyalgia and I find without question the product helps me with my "muscle management" without the side effects I experience from vitamins. There'a a reason the product is a bit pricey: it's formulated for immediate absorption and that is a beautiful thing -- you are definitely getting your money's worth, especially when price is compared to prescription antibiotics. Honestly, when I have taken it every three hours I did experience some, shall we say, gastrointestinal effects -- but that is MY system. I guess I "stumbled" across this product and use it for myself for over-all maintenance.
For my husband, I have seen him take it every 3 hours several times and experience no discomfort whatsoever and remain well.
For my son, he likes to take it ("Airborne") several times a day and experiences no gastrointestinal effects.
Regarding the statement in a review that linked vitamin C to oxidation and cancer, if that is an accurate statement backed by fact it would have to be mega-doses of Vit. C, mega-mega doses. Vitamin C is water soluble, meaning excess will be excreted by your body.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being Best, "Airborne" is a 10+ and I am so grateful to find it at Amazon.com at such a reasonable price.
So, there you have it: I use it for maintenance, as does the rest of my family. Yes, I HAVE witnessed situations where we have to take it exactly as recommended to "ward off" illness and overwhelmingly we have far less rate of illness -- hats of to the creator of this product.
