Flying with vitamins and supplements is permitted and extremely common.
This post will answer all your questions about traveling with vitamins.
The transportation security administration is the organization that checks your luggage at security screening checkpoints. They decide what can and can’t go on planes.
Let’s see what they say about vitamins:
quart bag along with other toiletries. They should be under 3.4 oz (100ml).
If you have a bottle of liquid vitamins and you have a medical prescription for it you will be able to take bottles larger than 3.4 oz. You just need to show your liquid vitamins and prescription to the TSA officer and you will be permitted to bring it on board.
Keep in mind, while these are the general rules the TSA officer at the checkpoint always has the final say.
So solid vitamins are fine and liquid vitamins are treated like other liquids unless you have a medical prescription for them.
But what about the grey area…
Are gummy vitamins a liquid or a solid?
Michelle asked the TSA about taking them on a plane:
Taking vitamins on a plane internationally is no different. If you are departing from the united states you will pass through a TSA security checkpoint. The rules are the same whether you are flying domestically or internationally.
The only one thing you should consider is the legality of your vitamin supplement at your destination.
If you have any doubt check the local laws of your destination country.
Can you bring vitamins on a plane? Yes, you can. There are best practices such as packing vitamins in carry-on luggage and labeling to avoid confusion but there are few regulations.
Brings vitamins on a plane is pretty straightforward, you don’t need to do anything but if a TSA officer asks to take a closer look at your vitamins you should comply.
