Customer Reviews of Airborne Effervescent Health Formula, Original Orange, 10 Tablets (Pack of 3)
Customer Review: It really works *and* is safe if taken properly.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was introduced to this 5 days ago, when I have been exposed to various bugs as I was traveling. Normally I get so sick I cannot move. Though the first day, I slept a lot -- the symptoms were much abated and the next day I was almost normal.
There are 2 concerns that people raise here -- and apparently on the Today show (I do not have a TV.) One is the quantity of Vitamin A and the other is that it uses the artificial sweetener, sucralose -- which is the main ingredient found in Splenda.
1. The Vitamin A in Airborne is 100% of Daily Value based on 2000 calorie diet. This is not the same as the Recommended Daily Allowance. But what is of meaningful concern is the number of IU's. 10,000IU's of vitamin A is considered quite safe. Going over 25,000IU's is considered potentially toxic and in extreme cases can cause death.
One tablet of Airborne contains 5,000 IU, half of what is considered perfectly safe to consume.
Almost all cold medicines etc. put Vitamin A in their formula because it is so effective in battling colds. I don't believe I can provide a link in Amazon's post but if you google toxic Vitamin A, one of the first websites coming up is from the University of Maryland Medical Center -- which is one of the top in the country -- and they explain in plenty of detail the pro's and risks of Vitamin A.
So though one would probably be safe taking the Airborne as prescribed at 3 times a day at 15,000 IU's, I personally just used it 2 x a day -- giving 10,000 IU's of Vitamin A. I found it perfectly effective that way.
2. Artificial sweetener: Sucralose is not the same thing as Aspartame, as an earlier poster said. Aspartame is what is found in Equal, Sucralose is what is found in Splenda. Aspartame is an artificial ingredient. Sucralose is made from actual sugar in which the sugar molecule nucleus has chlorine atoms replacing hydrogen-oxygen atoms. Doing so makes the sugar insoluble in the body passes through without being absorbed. (Note that Splenda is a combination of dextrose, maltodextrin and sucralose -- so the dextrose, which is part of sugar causes Splenda to have actual calories.)
There is no evidence that sucralose in small quantities is risky for human beings. It has been approved and used in Canada for many years before the US.
Of course, as with everything, there is some form of risk. Drinking coffee, beer, a mixture of prescribed medicines can cause under certain circumstances, death.
The question one needs to ask -- and one does this everyday whether you are conscious or not -- do the potential benefits outweigh the risk of harm. One of the important factors is the probability and circumstances that create the risk of harm. The studies on Splenda indicate one would have to consume 5000 packages or more in a day before there would be harmful effects.
