supplements and travel

I will be traveling soon and now that I am taking many supplements I am wondering if I should take them with or leave them home and stop the regimen while traveling. My concern is about carry-on luggage and the bottles of supplements and pills and airport security.

Has anyone traveled recently with many supplements in their carry-on luggage?

I recently travelled all over the country with no trouble, I merely labeled my supplements and put them into two cases like this.

Keep in mind that I only travelled in Canada, no border crossing and left the pills in my luggage, no carryons besides a handfull of pills in my pocket that security was okay with.

Off Topic.

I used an old pencil case while travelling in my backpack, just threw some pens in, and went to the airport through security, got on the plane... and while I was on the plane getting a pen I realized I had a boxcutter from an old job in there... How the hell did they miss that?! Made me feel a little less safe.

I am sufficiently concerned about them asking me to throw away the pills, or put them in check-in luggage that i may leave all the supplements at home and go for a whole week without supplements.

I dont know what kind of temperatures or X-ray radiation the baggage goes through int he airport and in the airplane's belly.

They dont catch everybody or everything, I heard of many similar stories. I have my opinions on this, but I will keep politics out of this discussion

I recommend just taking enough in little baggies for for the week then, haha. Safest bet maybe.

Haha, that's the spirit! If I can make it onto the plane with an accidental Box Cutter I'm sure you can make it on there with some Krill Oil!

I took plenty of pills with me, in a weekly pill dispenser, hoped on 4 planes, and no one asked a question..
