Is this stuff really good with helping the first symptoms of a cold go away?

Good question but a subjective one as well. The zinc lozenges (coldeze) and the nasal zinc (zicam, which is what I would recommend) are at least clinically proven. The airborne "stuff" is exactly what the previous poster said it was: an expensive combination of vitamins and minerals. If you already take a multi-vitamin, you're just wasting your money on Airborne. Stick with the zinc remedies either Coldeze or Zicam.
Good luck and (try) to stay healthy!!

I've used Airborne with success... maybe it's psychological, but it worked for me. I ALWAYS get a cold after flying, but the last 2 times I have taken Airborne and not gotten sick.
The last time, I got the beginning of a cold, but got over it in about a day.

I recently used airborne on a flight to/from China, because I tend to get sick after long flights.
Well, I got mono after the trip, so guess it didn't work so great for me.
Over-hyped and over-priced in my opinion. The fact that they advertise it as 'developed by a teacher' not a medical professional should set off some alarm bells.

It isn't really medicine.
Actually it is just a great combination of vitamins and minerals which enhance the immune system.
It works great by the way.

It really helps but it has high calcium content so be careful if you have a history of kidney stones or whatever is not good with high calcium.

I perfer zinc lozenges myself. Coldeeze is a good brand.

Everyone i've talked to say's it works. I haven't personally taken it, but several friends and co workers have and they swear by it.
