Do Cold Busters Like Emergen-C and Airborne Actually Work? | Mark's Daily Apple

Yes, they do. However, understand that these natural cold and flu remedies are not really “curing” anything. If you see a product claiming anything along those lines, that is a red flag. But what many of these products do – and homeopathic remedies do not fall into this category as they’re completely worthless – is simply boost your immune system with vitamins and sometimes additional minerals or phytonutrients. In fact, many of them are not unlike a potent multivitamin. The studies on “curing” colds with natural remedies are inconclusive, but studies have shown time and again that vitamins like C, the B-complex, and many other supplemental nutrients absolutely have immuno-strengthening properties. That’s why I recommend always taking steps to boost your immune system on a daily basis, whether you’re sick or not. Don’t wait until you feel the first itch of a sniffly nose to begin boosting your immune system. Prevent what you can before you even get it.
In general, the core factors for a strong, healthy immune system are:

@XenaLee  recommended Emergen-C; it's been the best thing I've tried in all this, I'm going to use it everyday, it seems so effective. Thank you.

Another note, for the health advice sites, Mark's daily apple is pretty decent. I guess he's into the Paleo-diet, so agree or disagree, one might find interesting info on it. For diets, I like the Mediterranean, if one can do that... which isn't that easy to do, but here and there, olive oil, artichoke hearts, hummus and so on, there are parts one could get into the diet. Okinawa diet too, is good. Most of these can be a burden on the wallet.

I also recommend using Super Greens (usually in a smoothie with banana, orange juice, and the EmergenC) purchased at Walmart.

Thanks, I have used those and the red and green varieties and Super beets, I've been around the block on a number of these supplements along with "bone broth proteins":

A bit off-topic but Turmeric flavor actually worked very well and Turmeric, Cumin, these spices have benefits. I got a sort of black eye a few years ago from a tumble off the bike actually. Long story short, I found out turmeric or cumin worked well as anti-inflammatories, I ate at an Indian restaurant, I think just that little bit helped besides making pastes from these items.

I have bone broth greens right now but I really do think the turmeric was the way to go, so maybe next time.

I haven’t had the flu or a bad cold since I started using airborne more than 5 years ago.  If it’s psychological, I don’t care because it’s keeping me healthier anyway!
