Anyone ever tried Airborne before the cruise

[hayesktrm]

Colds are going around my kids school so a friend introduced me to Airborne yesterday when we were at Trader Joe's. It is a herbal supplement that you take either at the beginning of a cold or right before you go someplace very crowed (cruise, airplane ride). They even have a formula for kids. Created by a school teacher. My husband was feeling like a cold was coming on and he took some a felt a little better. My daughter's teacher started taking it 2 days ago because she was really sick, and it cleared up her nose. It also has ginger in it so it would help nausea, too. It's something to think about...definately going to use it before we go (and the kids, too). Oh, an added benefit, it gives you a little extra energy.

I haven't heard of that, but we use Zicam for colds and I swear by it!!! Everyone I know and family all use it too now.

I use Zicam, too when I get a cold (helps oh so much). The nice thing about this is that it is preventative and that it is an effervecent (sp.) tablet that you put in water. Reminds me of Tang. Do they still make that? Ahhh, the memories of childhood. The juice of the astronauts. Sorry, I digressed.

Absolutely love Zicam. Found out about it on these boards. Best stuff I have ever discovered.

We all used Airborne before and during our cruise. Worked great. I packed it the night before we left, so I couldn't take it on the last day before our flight and we got colds when we got home.

I'm a fan.

I am a Trader Joe's fan too. Yep, heard great things about Airborne and have been taking it this cold season.

I have'nt taken a day off since.

Yes, I will be taking this on our cruise and flight!

I'm not sure if it helped or not but this last Dec. was the first time in 4 vacations that i didn't catch something. I'm not taking chances and will be using it again for our Oct.and my Dec. trip.

I have a colleague at work who just told me about Airborne (sp?) and swears by it. I'll give it a try!

What is Airborne and where so you get it?

 

[MsLefty]

I use Airborne all the time. It really works! You can order it at Drugstore.com. The lemon-lime flavor is good in plaing water. The regular flavor tases great in orange juice.

I don't know if you have a Trader Joe's where you live, but that's where I get it. I bet Whole Foods would have it, too. I just saw an Airborne commercial with the guy who played Greg Brady--so they must carry it elsewhere, too. They also have a kids' strength--it is grape flavored. You just drop the tablet in water and drink when it is dissolved.
