Customer Reviews of Airborne Effervescent Health Formula, Original Orange, 10 Tablets (Pack of 3)
Customer Review: Not a miracle cure, but a marvel of prevention!
Summary: 5 Stars
In a working environment where one person can infect the entire place with their cold, flu or other malady, Airborne is the answer to prevention. While it most certainly will NOT work in all cases, Airborne does do the trick, and I have managed to prevent sickness with this product before.
Case in point: I had to share a car with someone who was hacking, gagging, coughing and sneezing for the whole hour trip (30 minutes going, 30 minutes coming back). Of course, within a day my body started feeling achey and I developed a headache. I took a break to head on over to the pharmacy to get some cough medicine, and wound up finding Airborne instead, which had come recommended to me by nearly a dozen people at this point. So, I followed the directions: 3 tablets in a day, taken at 3 hour intervals. By the next morning, I felt perfectly fine.
Much like an alka-seltzer, the Airborne tablet is dropped into a small amount of water and in a minute it is completely dissolved. The orange flavor isn't spectacular, but it isn't bad...almost like a flavored seltzer. It feels good going down and doesn't cause nausea or anything else. You won't feel better instantly, becuase it usually takes about 2 or 3 tablets total to get the full effect, but you WILL feel better. Chances are you might just stay with your minor symptoms, but other times you'll prevent the cold from setting in entirely!
Ever since I discovered this product about half a year ago, I have used it at the first sign of illness...headache, bodyache, stuffy nose, etc...and each time it has PREVENTED sickness from setting in. Results won't be typical for everyone of course, but it definitely works for me, and for that I'm grateful. However, I do see complaints from people claiming that it doesn't work. Most of the time, those complaints are coming from people that decided to take Airborne AFTER they already got sick, not at the FIRST SIGN, as the instructions clearly indicate. The only way it could be made more obvious is if they spent extra money on the packaging to make the words "First Sign" light up and make sounds. If you don't take this product when you first notice symptoms, it will NOT work. If you get a sudden onset of sickness overnight without symptoms, it will NOT work. This product doesn't cure, it prevents...huge difference.
I highly recommend this product to anyone who works in a large office environment, or frequently goes to crowded environments such as malls. Take it BEFORE you go into the area and you should be fine. In all other cases, the moment you start to feel awkward, take it to be safe. Just remember, before you start complaining that it doesn't work, Airborne is intended to prevent, not cure. It is also not very likely that Airborne will stop something more powerful such as a flu. This product works, and it works well.
Customer Review: PRETTY GOOD STUFF (just don't be a junkie on it!)
Summary: 5 Stars
My mother calls them fizzy lifting tablets.
"What the hell are they?" was my first question. So, one night as I was on the verge of catching my infants latest disease she pops one of these tablets into a small dixie riddle cup of water. I let the fizzing commence and then slammed it back. "Hoooooo!" I said, "thats good fizz!"
I like these things on the occasion. They come in two different flavors, orange and lemon lime. They taste pretty good and they are a quick fix for any of the early annoyances of the evil winters bitch assed viruses. They also ain't so bad for hangovers either, as they sort of boost your system and make you feel sort of fresh and healthy.
JUST DONT BECOME A JUNKIE
I see people out there who have become obsessed with taking this stuff, like every day. Sure its all natural and probably harmless, but its a habit that costs more than smoking cigarettes.. and that's a pretty expensive habit these days. A tube of these will usually run you about eight bucks a pop if you go to your local drug store. For the people who do like five a day thats an easy 40 bucks a week on these little bastards. Woah, come on now... over hyped sweet tarts.
No, personally I keep a tube in the house for when I feel that crap building up inside my head and throat, otherwise, I try to tough it out.
If you can't get enough though, there are groups out there now dedicated to finding the best deal possible on these things, so that they can buy them by the case load.
Here at AMAZON a three pack (3 tubes) cost $14.99, thats not a bad deal. My Aunt T has got the skinny on a secret truck load behind Walmart once or twice a month. Talk to her if you want it in weight. Don't try any funny business though, her guys don't like to joke around.
Customer Review: Finally Something Convenient that Works for the Common Cold
Summary: 5 Stars
My son and I have been using Airborne for about 3 years. We prefer the new grapefruit flavor to the original orange being offered on Amazon but you absolutely can't beat this price. This is the best deal I've seen. This week Walgreens is selling Airborne for $4.99 and you can use the newspaper $1.00 off coupon to bring it to $3.99. It's rare to see it that low. Advice-don't waste your money on Walborne it doesn't work.
When the pill effervesses the herbs look pretty gross but don't let that put you off. It tastes good (the grapefruit tastes better) and if you take it at the first sign of a cold(which for us is a slight sore throat) you can either bypass the cold or cut the symptoms and time in 1/2 conservatively.
Airborne has come out with an overnight formula we can't wait to try. They have gummy bear type folmulas as well.
This is also great as a preventative. A check out person I know who works at a store recently joined the ranks of people who love Airborne.
And finally, when you save the bar code and your store receipts on 6 Airbornes, you can send them into the headquarters and in about 6 weeks you'll get a coupon for a free airborne. We usually buy 6 at a time just so that we have them on hand and can get the free coupon procedure done before we misplace the records! I give Airborne away to family members and now have 4 family groups using this product because (drum roll) IT WORKS!
Customer Review: HEY!!! IT WORKS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Started using this product many, many months ago. While not a health food fanatic, I do watch what I eat and do take vitamins daily. However whenever I felt a slight tickle in nose or throat and felt a cold coming on, which usually happens around November thru March, I take an Airborne as directed and BINGO!! The cold or flu disappears more often than not!
My mother-in-law was headed to China but she had the sniffles, definitely coming down with a cold, and she was worried...my wife Donna suggested Airborne Supplements and guess what. It worked!!
She never came down with the "expected cold" even though she was in the airplane for over 10 hours! And going to China to boot, a very unhealthy enviornment!
Now paw paw (grandma in Chinese) wants her own bottle of tablets!
Keep in mind that she's close to 80 or so.
As many tubes as I've bought I should own shares in this company.
In fact if any one from that company is reading this, feel free to contact me and use me as a testimonial. Your product works!! Just let me have a years supply of the stuff or let me in on the IPO.
Other friends of mind also commented on the efficacy of this product and would purchase it! It's worked well for them too! Trader Joe's was a lot less expensive than any of the local and chain drug stores so I would suggest purchasing it there. I live in SF Bay Area----Vic
Customer Review: Thankful This Product Exists!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first began using airborne in early October right after I was the unhappy recipient of the worst cold I'd had in years. My husband caught it from me and our teenage son caught it from him (we really know how to share). :) I began feeling the *tingle* in the back of my nose and throat again and knew I was on the road to illness. My friend told me about this product and I figured I'd give it a shot. Her mother works in daycare and the workers there get everything the children bring in. The owner of the daycare invested in this product for her employees and there has not been a call off due to illness in over four months! After two doses, I no longer felt the dread - I felt great! During the winter months, it seems that no matter what we do, our son catches everything under the sun. He's been taking Airborne at the first symptoms of a cold, along with my husband and I, and we have all been cold free since October! This product is a true gift!
August 20, 2005 UPDATE: Almost a year and still no colds - for all of my family members. Our son is usually battling colds all winter and this year he had 100% school attendence. People in my office began using Airborne as well and for those who follow the directions and take when you get those FIRST SIGNS of a cold, they have remained healthy and cold free as well.
