I'm getting ready to leave on a trip. Is it okay to take vitamins / supplements with you?

I don't have any powders however I have some pill type supplements I want to take.

Thoughts?

Make sure they are in your checked baggage, and as long as it is domestic and not international you should be fine.

If they're all legal, should have no probs especially with it in checked luggage. I've carried on tubs of powders as carry-on before, but they were all sealed and NP labeled.

thanks guys.

I'm just talking some multi's etc....

I've always wondered this as well lol. Last year I was in Boston for two months for job training, I bought a massive tub of 0N 100% Whey for while I was there, didn't finish it and threw the rest away just to be safe. That hurt a little lol

I figured that it should be all good in your checked luggage as well. I wouldn't worry. I did put my uni-liver in my suitcase and no problems.

I've only had DMSO confiscated (which I guess isn't really a supp really). Only reason they took it was because it was considered HazMat.

Generally you'll be fine, even internationally. Make sure you don't have liquids in your hand luggage, or if you do they conform to the requirements (this applies in europe, not sure about FAA-land).

Watch out if travelling through Dubai or singapore, but especially Dubai. Many things you never even thought of as possibly being illegal can land you 4 years in jail, and they have incredibly sensitive equipment if you get searched. You can find a list of banned substances on the relevant customs pages.

Just to give you an idea of how insane, a guy got arrested for having poppy seeds on his clothes from a bagel he ate in the country of departure. Poppy seeds ----> opium ----> controlled substance. Have a look at this lol Travellers who 'smuggle' poppy seeds face Dubai jail

I have had no problems in the past carrying opened bottles of prohormones, various supplements, and protein powders in my checked baggage. Funny story, the last time I visited my family I was on a cycle of anabolics and when I was visiting I lost my wallet with all of my identification and credit cards. So, when I tried to get on the plane to fly back home I was interrogated exstensively, searched and scrutinized about everything I had, and the like. It probably didn't help that I had a gnarley black eye and half of my face was covered in road rash from a bicycle accident that looked more like I got into a scuffle. And they didn't take my prohormones or other supplements which I thought they might since the bottles were opened and it could have been anything in there. This was a domestic flight FWIW.

I've never had problems taking anything on planes in checked or carry on luggage. PHs, powders (some that looked like coccaine), vitamins, etc., - Never been a problem. I've had to bring Tamoxifen and stuff before, too. I've always put liquids in my checked baggage and take the labels off.

I have taken two flights with supps before...both domestic. The first I had whey in a ziplock in my carry on, which they searched. They were like wtf is this? I told them and it was fine. They had to ask the head of security about the handcuffs I had in there (use imagination) , but they were allowed. Another flight I was going on vacation for a month and put two containers of whey in my non-onboard bags with my clothes. Lets just say every inch of my clothes/shoes, etc were filled with protein powder....not a nice first night on vacation. So just make sure you bring stuff like that with you onboard because the air pressure difference will make those babies explode.
