Can I Bring Supplements and Protein as Carry-On Luggage on an Airplane?

Happy Holidays from PricePlow!

Many people often ask if they can bring protein powders, creatine, vitamins, and other supplements in their carry-on luggage on an airplane.

The first bit of good news is that none of these powders are on the TSA’s banned list.

The other good news is that this Christmas, I flew from LAX to Cleveland with the following all in my carry-on luggage with no search or hassles:

9 packs of Animal Pak
36 CLA softgels
18 scoops of Xtend, with some beta alanine, extra glutamine, and kre-alkalyn mixed in.
18 fish oil softgels
A couple scoops of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein
A handful of vanadyl sulfate capsules
Glucosamine and chondroitin pills
5 Scoops of SuperPump 250 with extra L-Leucine mixed in

So if I can get that all onto an airplane with absolutely no problems, I’d say we’re good to go.

Good luck with your 2009 goals!
