I like it and use it. I find if I'm starting to feel something coming on I take it for a day or two and the cold does not develop. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas everyone at home and work was sick. I took a dose of Airborne every couple of days and I never caught it. I've also taken it while I was sick. I don't think it helps get well sooner but it does have lots of good vit. and min. so I figure it can't hurt. If you do try some, don't mix it with more than 8 oz. of water. It is tasty, but not when over duilted.
