Airborne?

Karina · Chanel

i was going to pick up some airborne at lunchtime .. and maybe some echnichea (sp) and vitamin c .. wanted to see if anyone had some other suggestions. does airborne even work?

ask your dr. for a B-12 shot. i swear by them. gives your immune system a HUGE boost.

Airborne works for me, but it has to be taken RIGHT when I feel a cold coming on. Then I'll get sniffles for a few days more and my cold is gone. I also take some vitamin C and echinicea drops in addition to the Airborne.

airborne works for me too. It has like 1000 vitamin C in it. I think you can get a sample on their website if you wanna try it.

Airborne works for me, but I have to take it when I know I'm exposed to tons of germs or when the cold is just starting. It definitely lessens the severity of colds.

I love Zicam. Before I found it, my colds were absolutely horrendous. I'd actually carry a box of tissues or a roll of toilet paper around with me all day to class, work, etc...because those little travel packs were a joke to my nose. And this would last for two weeks!

But if I take Zicam religiously as soon as I feel a cold coming on, my cold is much easier on me and lasts for maybe 4 or 5 days.

I also say Zicam. (Airborne= gross) They have different was you can take the product (Throat Spray, Nose swaps, dissolve tablet, etc) Remember, whenever taking these products, you have to use it like every 4 hours. It's the most important thing! I've known people who only do it once, and of course it doesn't work, and they get sick.
