Can you take supplements on a plane?

When you’re heading off on your travels, whether it’s adventure-packed exploration, or a relaxing beach resort break, the last thing you want is to be feeling under par. Keeping up with your supplement regime is one of the best ways to support your health and wellbeing while you’re travelling – so it’s great to know that, yes, you can take your supplements on a plane in the UK. 

Supplements can be carried in your checked-in or hand luggage, and it’s important to bear in mind the following guidelines:

• Solid forms (tablets, capsules, gummies, powders): These are allowed in both hand luggage and checked baggage without restrictions on quantities. 

• Liquid supplements: Each container must not exceed 100ml.  

• Packaging: You can use pill organisers or other containers for convenience. It's not mandatory to keep supplements in their original packaging, however you might prefer to do so in case you are questioned by security.  

• Declaration at security: While you don't need to declare supplements at airport security, having them easily accessible can make for a smoother screening process. 

Do be aware that if you're flying internationally, other countries may have different regulations regarding the importation of supplements, so it's recommended to research the rules of your destination country to avoid any issues.
