> 24 hourAirborne is a must-have in my medicine cabinet when cold and flu season hits. Its not a miracle cure, but I find that it does help take the edge off of bugs -- if I start taking it when I first feel a cold coming on, I tend to not get quite as sick and I recover faster. It wont prevent you from ever getting ill again, but the extra minerals and vitamins (especially the big dose of Vitamin C) provide a helpful boost for your body when seasonal bugs get you down. The 3-pack sold here on Amazon provides a good deal, too -- the price comes out to around $6 per bottle, whereas in stores its usually more like $7 to $8 per bottle (at least around where I live). Airborne comes in a few other flavors, but I personally think that the orange is the most palatable (Ive also tried the lime and grapefruit but thought they tasted pretty foul). Also, heres a tip: I find that dissolving a tablet in just a little water (about 1/2 cup) rather than a big glass of it helps concentrate the taste, which if youre like me is a big plus: The watered-down tablets taste like youre drinking off-flavored (and discolored!) water, whereas the less-water method makes them taste more like juice. :)

> 24 hourAn update, March 2019, on this last order. My review below stands - the product is great as far as I can tell plus I just love the orange-juicy flavor and the zing. But this seller sent a different configuration of the product than I ordered and the expiration date on 36 tablets is just 6 months away. If making a store purchase I simply would pass these by. I think there is some wiggle room with expiration dates but I am highly unlikely to finish using this batch before they are quite old. It appears the seller (sold by __, fulfilled by Amazon) is practicing stock rotation to the detriment of the customer. The longer I live, the more acutely I realize how little many people care about infecting everyone around them with their viral illnesses. As the years have gone by, I have become more likely to suffer for weeks with a cold that younger people may throw off in days. So it has become increasingly important to avoid infection. I think many people dont realize that direct contact, for example hands when youve been sneezing or wiping your nose, is the most potent way to pass a virus. Droplets of airborne spray would be next. Viral illnesses are very contagious during the incubation stage, so people sometimes dont even know they are passing colds. But many people dont care or even delight in passing colds, the thought (?) being they got it somewhere and may as well make others miserable. So what to do? Im aware when Ive been exposed so the minute I feel punk, I dissolve one of these tablets - then down the hatch. I sort of dont believe it myself, but Airborne does seem to bolster my immune system. My medically-trained friends like to poo-poo this but meanwhile their wives and I - who use Airborne - continue to have fewer colds. I like the flavor and the effervescence, too.

> 24 hourLast time I bought it, the included $2 off coupon was expired. I hope that will be different this time. I like Airborne. Weve used it ever since it came out years ago. I dont know why it works for us when so many other people seem to think its hype, but whenever we feel the first ticklings of a scratchy throat or other inklings of a cold coming on - it has to be used BEFORE it develops into a full-blown (pardon the pun) cold - we take it every few hours, about 3 or 4 times a day. Voila! Symptoms gone by the next day. It doesnt work every single time - on occasion youve got a bulldozer of an infection that nothing can touch - but it works at least 80% of the time. Enough to keep it on our shelves as a staple. Its been a blessing when traveling (take it before getting on a plane), and in every season of the year. Ive never heard of taking it daily as a preventive. That would be outrageously expensive (and unnecessary imo). But if youre sensitive to your own body and can recognize that feeling that youre just on the cusp of getting sick, you can stave off a cold with Airborne as weve done for years.
