Overview

Airborne is an American dietary supplement brand founded in 1999. It was initially developed by teacher Victoria Knight-McDowell and entered the market with products positioned for everyday nutritional support, including effervescent and chewable formats containing vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional ingredients. The brand’s marketing has commonly emphasized immune health, travel, and convenient daily supplementation; however, its products are dietary supplements rather than medicines intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease. Airborne later expanded into several delivery formats, including chewables, gummies, effervescent tablets, and powdered drink products. Schiff Nutrition acquired Airborne in 2008, and Reckitt acquired Schiff Nutrition in 2012, bringing Airborne into the Reckitt brand portfolio. Publicly available information is insufficient to confirm the brand’s complete international footprint, headquarters, and full product range, so this entry limits itself to the better-established ownership and category information.

The brand built early recognition through convenient dietary supplement formats such as effervescent tablets and chewables. Its products generally contain vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional ingredients and are aimed at consumers seeking everyday nutritional supplementation.
