A multi-nutrient gummy for immune support with 750mg Vitamin C, but contains high sugar and is costly for daily general health.

Flavour: Very Berry
Analysis

Airborne is well-known for immune support, and these gummies deliver 750mg of Vitamin C (from both buffered and unbuffered forms), along with a range of other vitamins (A, E) and minerals (Zinc, Selenium, Magnesium, Manganese) crucial for immune function. It also contains a proprietary herbal blend. The gummy format makes it easy and pleasant to consume, which is a major draw. However, each serving contains 10g of total carbohydrates, largely from sugars, which can be a concern for regular intake. Furthermore, some of the added mineral doses are quite low for significant impact. Online reviews praise its effectiveness for immune support and taste. Nutritionists would endorse the multi-nutrient aspect for immunity but caution about the sugar content for daily use.

Pros
  • Comprehensive blend of Vitamin C, vitamins (A, E), minerals (Zinc, Selenium), and a herbal blend for broad immune support.
  • Convenient and pleasant-tasting gummy form, making compliance easy.
  • Provides a substantial 750mg dose of Vitamin C.
Cons
  • High sugar content (10g carbohydrates per serving) is undesirable for daily, long-term use.
  • Very high price per serving compared to traditional Vitamin C supplements.
  • Dosages of some added minerals (e.g., Zinc 1mg) are very low for therapeutic effect.
  • Proprietary blend hides specific herbal ingredient amounts.
Warnings
  • Individuals monitoring sugar intake (e.g., diabetics) should be cautious due to high carbohydrate content.
  • Consider other options if seeking only Vitamin C, as the added ingredients and cost may not be justified.

Categories
Vitamin C 68.0
While it contains a good dose of Vitamin C, its multi-nutrient, high-sugar gummy format and elevated price make it a specialized immune product rather than a benchmark Vitamin C supplement in the category.
Goals
Immunity 75.0
Strongly targets immunity with a multi-nutrient formula including Vitamin C, Zinc, and Selenium, offering a comprehensive approach for immune bolstering, despite some low individual dosages.
Skin Health 65.0
Provides Vitamin C and Vitamin E for skin health, but the gummy form with sugar is not the most targeted or efficient delivery for primary skin goals.
Anti-Aging 65.0
Offers antioxidant vitamins (C, E, Selenium) for anti-aging, but its overall formulation is more geared towards acute immune support rather than comprehensive anti-aging strategies.
