Title: Travelling with Sups
Post by: littleguns on April 16, 2008, 07:41:09 AM
When you folks travel with your OTC supps ( pills, tabs etc) do you put them in your check in luggage?

Ever been questioned about what they are etc etc? Things are soo stringent nowadays, I am wondering if I should just send them to my destination via mail...

when i worked in the airport I used to get questioned about it alot... because I'd bring it in in my backpack and leave some of them at work, etc. I also keep it in my carry on to take when needed so I don't miss much. I do however leave them in their respective bottles and usually no one says anything.  I got my vanilla NITREAN snipped once by a dog on the international concourse side at screening... after a made a joke about wondering when they started making vanilla flavored narcotics.. apparenlty the airport doesn't find that shit funny.

Nah fuck that take it through with you, just dont be stupid like Hidetada.. however creating and other powders in their original containers

i travel alot for my job and i usually have these zip lock bags that i already mix my powders (5g glutamine, 4g Luecine,4g beta Alanine), and all u get is ziplocks with white powders... one time they found one of those and wondered if it was coke , they put some of it in a tube or someshit to see if it changes color ???

anyway you'd be fine

I never had problems. I usually just take all the capsules and pills i need and stuff them together in a plastic bag. Never got questioned though. As for the taking powders along, a capping machine costs about 20 bucks. Just make your own caps, convenient and easy to transport.

I put my vitamins in balloons and swallow them. No one is confiscating my animal packs.

I put my supps in those weekly divided containers and have never been questioned, domestically or internationally.

Nope. I just keep them in my bag. Most of the time, they just run the bag through the machine and they don't bother you, unless you have liquids like RTDs. Those you have to put in your checked baggage.

I only take my vitamins with me when I travel and I've taken tons of gear on the plane as well in my check in luggage.  But it's all scripted =)

I have never had a problem when I took them in my carry on, but got stopped coming back from mexico by customs.  They took everything out and kept asking, "Did you get thin in mexico?" "No." "How about this?" "No." and so on and so on.
