Victoria Knight McDowell

Welcome to #LisaDurden’s #WomensHistoryMonthMoment: Victoria Knight McDowell, born 1962, was a second-grade teacher from California who created the dietary supplement #Airborne in the 1990’s; marketed to prevent the common cold and improve immune function. Initially she sold the supplement to local drug stores, #TraderJoes, #Walmart and #RiteAid, with a few million in sales. In 2004, after being a guest on #TheOprahWinfreyShow, #VictoriaKnightMcDowell’s company brought in $67 million dollars in sales that year. #ClapForThat!! McDowell and her husband sold Airborne in 2005 after having made $150 million dollars, bought it back in 2006, then sold it again to put their efforts into the purchase of the #PineBrothers herbal supplement company.
