Traveling with Vitamins: Maintaining Your Vitamin Routine On the Go

Travel can be an exciting adventure, whether you're exploring new places or connecting with friends and family who live far away. Or you may travel for work, needing to be at the top of your game. Part of being prepared for an upcoming trip is to make sure you have everything you need—both for your trip and for yourself.

Just because you’re on the move doesn’t mean you have to abandon your vitamin routine. In fact, maintaining your vitamin regimen while traveling helps support your body so you can focus on what matters—your trip! You may have questions about how to travel with your vitamins, so keep reading for helpful tips and strategies.

Can you bring vitamins on a plane?

Yes, your favorite supplements, including gummy vitamins, can come with you on a plane. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows supplements on board, either in your carry-on or checked luggage.

Liquid vitamins are also allowed but need to follow the liquids rules for carry-ons. This means the liquids container needs to be less than 3.4oz/100 ml and fit within a 1-quart size, clear, plastic zip-top bag along with your other liquid items.

It’s important to note the final decision on whether you can bring an item through the security checkpoint ultimately rests with the TSA. It’s recommended you check the latest rules and guidelines for flying on the TSA website before you travel.

Do vitamins need to be in original containers when flying?

The TSA does not require medications be kept in their original prescription bottles, but some states may have individual laws regarding the labeling of prescription medication with which passengers need to comply. You may find it helpful to store your vitamins and supplements in a securely sealed container. Options like a zip top bag or a small pill case not only make them easily accessible in your bag but also help keep them fresh. When traveling, keep supplements and medications out of the reach of children.

Traveling internationally with vitamins

When traveling internationally, check the regulations for the country you are traveling to to ensure you don’t bring any prohibited dietary supplements.

How to pack vitamins for a flight

According to the TSA, you can pack your vitamins in either your carry-on or your checked luggage. However, we recommend packing them, along with any medication, in your carry-on. This way, you’ll still have your vitamins and medication readily available in case your luggage is lost or delayed.

When to take vitamins while traveling

You may find it helpful to take your vitamins at the time that you regularly take them in your new time zone, if applicable. This helps to maintain consistency in your vitamin routine and adapt to the local schedule.

If you are planning a trip to a different time zone, some people find it helpful to use Melatonin to help aid in the recovery from jet lag.*

What types of vitamins are best for travel?

When it comes to travel, certain types of vitamins may be more convenient than others. Liquid supplements need to follow the TSA restrictions for liquids, which may make them more inconvenient to travel with. Pills, gummies, and chewables are not restricted like liquids, so may be easier to travel with.

What vitamins should you take while traveling?

When traveling, the vitamins you choose will depend on your health goals. For some, supporting daily wellness is important and a multivitamin can be helpful.* Others may prefer to continue to support their immune health while traveling and opt for vitamin C, zinc, or vitamin D.* If supporting digestive health and regularity is your priority, consider a fiber supplement.* Lastly, if you want to support sleep and jet lag recovery, a melatonin supplement can help regulate your sleep cycle.* If you have any questions on which supplement is right for you when traveling, talk to your health care provider.
