When we go on holiday, we often want to maintain our daily routine as much as possible, including our dietary supplements. But what are the rules for bringing supplements with you when you travel? Can you just take them to another country? In this blog, we will take a closer look at this question.

To answer your question directly. Yes, in principle, bringing dietary supplements on holiday is no problem at all.
You can therefore safely take vitamin and mineral supplements with you.
In some countries, there are sometimes stricter rules regarding pre-workout or fat-burning supplements. Some of the substances contained in these are considered doping in certain places, and CBD oil is not allowed in every country, for example. These are substances that are not found in Ovabalance supplements.

Bringing dietary supplements with you inside and outside the EU.
When you travel within the EU by car or plane, it is not a problem and you can safely take your supplements with you.
General dietary supplements are therefore no problem at all, but outside the EU, the rules regarding CBD oil or pre-workout supplements are sometimes different.
One example of a country with strict rules for dietary supplements is Singapore. Other countries, such as the United States, on the other hand, allow many supplements.
Are you not sure whether your supplements are allowed in the country you are going on holiday to? Then you can always ask the customs of the country you are going on holiday to what the regulations are.
Is there a maximum amount of vitamins you can take on a plane?
When traveling to and from abroad, there is often a limit on the amount of a product you can take with you. However, there is no limit set for supplements, so in principle you can take as many vitamins as you want. Now I wouldn't take an enormous number of bottles of one particular product, because then it could be seen as trade.
How do I take my supplements on holiday?
To avoid any risk, take your supplements in their original packaging if you are traveling by plane. Especially with powder supplements such as Myo inositol. Then it is immediately clear what the white powder exactly is ;)
Because with the original packaging you can easily show what is in it in case of inspection. If necessary, make sure you have your purchase confirmation with you or at least in your email.
If you are traveling by car, I recommend putting your supplements in a handy XL pill organizer.
Can supplements go in my carry-on luggage?
You can take supplements in capsule, powder or tablet form in your carry-on luggage without a maximum quantity limit applying. For liquid supplements, they may contain a maximum of 100 milliliters.
Why should I take supplements on holiday?
When you are doing well with swallowing dietary supplements, you do not want to interrupt this for long. Because on holiday your diet often looks different (read: still a bit less healthy, more sweet and more alcohol). And you might also move a bit less fanatically, so it is wise to continue supplementing your vitamins and minerals.
In conclusion, we can say that bringing dietary supplements on holiday is in principle no problem as long as you inform yourself about the rules in the destination country and keep the packaging or take a photo of it. This way you can enjoy your holiday worry-free and continue your daily routine.
