Airborne – A Dietary Supplement
Filed Under is it contagious?, sneezing & wheezing | Comments Off
I noticed these Airborne tablets last year in my local supermarket, around cold and flu season. The box shows cartoon characters of germs and a picture of people coughing and sneezing in an airplane. The box says it was the creation of a school teacher, named Victoria Knight, who no doubt had come in contact with more than her fair share of germs.
Well, I didn’t purchase them until this year basically because I was afraid of how it would taste. Effervescent tablets to be dissolved in water and drunk – eww – sorry, but I had tried enough of those of so-called immune boosting drinks that I had to gag down. A new flavor, Pink Grapefruit caught my eye, so since I have been doing a lot of traveling and with cold/flu season approaching, I decided to give it a shot. I have to say that it actually tastes great and I have no problem drinking it several times a day! My daughter came home from school this past week with a nasty cold (she didn’t take Airborne) and so far I’m good (keeping my fingers crossed)! So Airborne gets an A+ from me.
So what’s in it? Basically it is a combination of herbal extracts, vitamin c, amino acids, electrolytes and antioxidants. It comes in several different flavors, orange, lemon and pink grapefruit. For complete information and products available, check out their website at http://www.airbornehealth.com/ I can only speak from personal experience, so I cannot guarantee if it would work for you, as well as it has for me so far, but it is definitely worth a try. Germs are out there, especially at this time of year, in the malls and stores full of holiday shoppers, in our work environments with all of that yucky recycled air, in public transportation, and yes, schools.
