I am due to go on a vacation after the first of the year. I am traveling overseas for the first time, and will need to take a weeks worth of supplements (3 pills, multiple times daily, and protein mix) with me (in addition to 2 prescription drugs) in order to continue with my training while on vacay. These are all legal, and obtainable over the internet.

- Am I going to have any hassles when going through security/checkpoint? I basically don't want to look like some pill head, and give them cause to investigate more, and waste my time.
- How should I handle the packaging of the supplements to make it easier to deal with security, if I have to? Will a daily pill container do the trick?
- Should I bring the original bottles that they came in? (Rather not do this with the size of the protein bottle).

Tips/thoughts/suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

I trafel for work quite a bit and pack protein, pills etc. and never had an issue. As far as perscriptions go just make sure you have the dr's rx.

Hello - for protein powder I've used large ziplock bags when traveling. I usually label them with a marker, especially if if is a white powder (such as vanilla), and have had no problems.

you are going on vacation for a week, dont worry about it

Yeah, agreed. JUst chill and enjoy the time away. Atleast your not going away for 6 weeks like me on a boys holiday through Europe and the states drinking and eating copius amounts of fun food lol.

Depending on where you are going you can buy protein powder. I know I've seen it in the local supermarkets here in Italy. You can't even find oatmeal without a search warrant but protein is pretty common in the health food section.

I wouldn't bring anything that wasn't in it's orginal packaging. Even more so if you're young and male.
