Airborne or Emergen-C

Take when you feel a cold coming on.

Active Ingredients
Vitamins A, C and E, zinc, selenium, manganese, magnesium.

The Promise
The ingredients nourish your immune system and help it function efficiently; may help shorten the duration of your cold.

The Reality

There’s no scientific evidence that these ingredients help prevent or treat a cold.

What to Watch
Exceeding the recommended dosage of vitamin A (700 mcg per day) or C (2,000 mg per day) may cause health problems.
