Airborne The package claims it should be used by people who frequent crowded, germ filled environments - office buildings, schools, restaurants, health clubs, theatres, and of course airplanes - basically all of us! The contents provide a mixture of vitamins, minerals and herbs - with large amounts of vitamin C and straight vitamin A.

Bottom Line: There do not seem to be ANY product-specific credible studies to support Airborne's effectiveness. If it works at all, it's most likely due to the large amount of Vitamin C - which you can certainly buy for a lot less money in plain pill form. And keep in mind that Vitamin C does not work instantaneously to reduce your risk of catching a cold… if you pop a pill when you board a plane, don't expect your body to exhibit miraculous germ repelling ability.
