Traveling with Supplements?

Lightdancer · Dec 29th, 2005, 00:41

Just wondering if I am likely to encounter any problems carrying some nutritional supplements with me in carry-on bag...going to Trivandrum via Kuwait.
Drugs I imagine are usually no problem.

Leaving February 3rd!!!

As long as they are not mind-altering nutritional suppliments you should have no problems at all!

I had no problem whatsoever and I take A LOT of supplements. Just keep them in their usual bottles -- I think baggies full of "unmarked" pills might raise some eyebrows!

I have never had more than a welcoming smile and a wave towards the exit from Indian customs. Unless the x-ray people tip them off that your luggage looks irregular, or maybe you get caught in a spot check there is nothing to worry about at all.
