What's that doing in there. It's an added artificial sweetener--or did I miss something. No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives." Polyethylene glycol. 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. So sorry, Airborne, your marketing seems pretty misleading and makes it hard to trust you. Aspartame is natural.
For example, see this: [.].Mineral & Canola oil--this wouldn't be the typical hydrogenated and unhealthy kinds, would it.
Get over your cold, but get the runs and maybe cancer instead.
It also makes me wonder, why are unhealthy ingredients unnecessarily put in "this will make you healthy" things.
Now take a look here:"Other Ingredients: Citric Acid, Sorbitol, Sodium Bicarbonate, Natural Orange Flavor, Polyethylene Glycol, Aspartame, Mineral & Canola Oil, Riboflavin.
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.
And it seems it's especially problematic for children.
(Search "polyethylene glycol" + "danger").
What will they do to me and my children.
Would you like to explain, and perhaps get rid of a two-star review.
The naysayers, including scientific medical journals, can have their say. 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. Airborne may not work for everyone but it works well for me and my family.
While I have met people who have said that Airborne helps them, this is almost certainly a placebo effect. 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). 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.
THIS IS GREAT. I'M A NURSE. I'M AROUND SICK PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. THIS STUFF IS GOOD.GOD BLESS
I have honestly not had a cold or flu virus IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. 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. 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.
