Airborne

I wish I had known about this at the first sign of my sore throat.

It seems I wasn't the only one at work that got sick that week I was gone. I ran into our HR manager the week I returned and she mentioned about taking more Vitamin C supplements. She said she's been watching any tell tale signs that she's caught something and that she cuts it short immediately by taking supplements to prevent it from progressing to a full blown flu.

I heard this was developed by a school teacher and that Oprah herself endorses and swears by its efficacy. Great, kind of too late for me but it may not be too late for others.

I actually bought one just to satisfy my curiosity. It comes in an effervescent formula (like alka seltzer that you dissolve in water). I feel like this sounds familiar with something I've taken back home but I can't seem to remember what it was nor remember the name of it--anyone? They recommend to take it at the FIRST sign of a cold symptom or before entering crowded environments like airplanes and offices. Just what I needed -- um, two weeks ago!

The formula contains seven herbal extracts, antioxidants, electrolytes, amino acids, 1000 mg of Vitamin C. These I like, as I try to stay away from heavy duty medications. I haven't tried to dissolve one but it supposed to taste great as well.

I thought it's one of those that I needed to order from those TV infomercials but I am glad that it's readily available at Walgreens or your local drugstores--kewl!

Well, now I know, next time I feel something coming, I will definitely "plop" the Airborne!

Keep healthy this season everyone!
