Question: Is Airborne good to take if your not sick!?
My sister had a stomach virus yesterday and for the past two days I been taking Airborne to try to prevent myself from getting it!. Would it still work even if I'm not sick and also is it just for colds or for anything!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
A stomach virus is not the same as a cold!. Airborne is marketed as a preventative measure against getting colds from others!. If your sis has a stomach virus and you don't want to get it, I suggest Lysol!. Especially in the bathroom!. That is where you will more than likely get it!. Keep the sink, faucets and toilet disinfected and don't use the same hand towels!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off, it supposedly protects you against colds - not stomach viruses!.

In reality, Airborne is simply a multi-vitamin (http://www!.airbornehealth!.com/about_what!.!.!. with a supposedly beneficial "proprietary herbal blend" - yea right!. In fact, they were caught touting medical research that wasn't done to supposedly prove they prevented colds!. http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Airborne_(d!.!.!.

"The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) participated in the class action lawsuit against Airborne!. Their senior nutritionist had this to say:

"There's no credible evidence that what's in Airborne can prevent colds or protect you from a germy environment," said CSPI senior nutritionist David Schardt, who reviewed Airborne's claims!. "Airborne is basically an overpriced, run-of-the-mill vitamin pill that's been cleverly, but deceptively, marketed!."[4] "

If you aren't taking a multi-vtamin this might be good for you, but there are cheaper and better alternatives if you ask me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

exercise, eating well, and a multivitamin would pretty much keep you just as healthy as you can be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It will definitely not prevent you from catching any virus!. I can't believe that scam is still being sold!. It won't help you get better either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
