Emer`genC works. At least, it's worked for my sons and me for almost as long as it's been on the market. We all trust it and I'm such a fan that I buy several boxes at once to share with others. Two years ago a doctor ordered it for one of his clients [couldn't swallow pills] after I'd suggested Emer`genC. He'd not heard of it. Gladly prescribed it after reading ingredients lists. Last winter two clerks were working when they should've stayed at home. I immediately gave each several packets until they could find it at a drugstore or online [I carry them to share and/or use]. Both became mega-fans [one was pregnant; the other is diabetic - had to be careful what they'd try]. We've relied on Emer`genC for decades - it's never let us down [and we have four generations using it].
Not only are there 1000mg Vit C per pkt. other vitamins are in it. And, one can use it several times a day, especially when in cold/flu season. That these are in powder [vs pill] form they're more likely to work faster [pills don't always dissolve]. They're more convenient than pills. Easier to use, especially if at work, at school or when traveling.
They work because Vitamin C strengthens the cellular wall, making it tougher for germs to penetrate and initiate an illness. I don't take it routinely, just when I've been exposed to germs I'm unwilling to host. If that occurs I'll hit the Emer`genC for at least 2 days. Maybe 4 to 6 pkts each 24 hrs. I haven't had colds or flu in more than 10 yrs. [despite others' sneezing, coughing or a 24-hr virus de jous]. Extra C's keep germs locked out.
Haven't tried Airborne. Emer`genC's too much an essential, like Duck Tape and WD-40. Gifts even get mailed with Emer`genC pkts filling spaces [vs ghost poo styro noodles]! VitaCost.com sells it at low cost so frugal, health conscious buyers get a win-win-win.

I've been using Emergen-C for over a year now and I used o have a few colds every year and haven't had one yet since I started using it. At the very least it really does give you a boost of energy. I often drink it instead of coffee in the morning. And it does contain a lot of vitamins and minerals that you might not be getting enough of, so the way I see it, it's a win win.
I swear by the stuff.

Yes, Airborne does work ! The first time I took it was before I boarded a plane to Hawaii. It is recommended to be taken when you feel the first signs of a cold coming on. I have also taken it at that time and is has worked. My wife has done the same thing.
So, in a nutshell..."works for us !"

Vitamin C really works...that is part of Emergen C. Vitamin C 2000 mg per hour fo 4 hours really boost up your immune system and helps you to detox...the pharmaceultical industry used lachted on and they made a new clon prep with 11.000 mg of vitamin C...AS old as lineaus. Vitamin C in powder form is cheaper then Emergen C...check your health food store.

I've taken Airborne before, but I wasn't really impresses. My mom swears by it though. I guess it's one of those things that works for some but not for others.

Airborne works great for my wife and I. trick is, AS SOON as you start getting sick, take it. And take it every 3 hours all day. Its worked many times for us, i hope it will for you!

Airbone does work, but it tastes really grose.

I doubt it, but I'm not a doctor and I've never tried them.
