Can I Bring Vitamin Pills Through TSA Airport Security?
I am flying within the country and need some advice.
I take about 10 different vitamins and supplements that are essential for my health.
There simply isn’t enough space in my carry-on for all the bottles.
Would it be okay for the capsules to be in ziplock bags labeled for each day?
I have a printout of all the labels from the bottles to bring with me to show TSA security.

It depends on where you are going.
My wife put her supplements in a zip lock bag, and they were taken away at the airport in Sydney when we were going to New Zealand.
We had to buy all new medications.
Thankfully, her prescriptions were in their original bottles, as were mine.
If you’ve managed to get away with using zip lock bags for your stuff, count yourself lucky.
But for us, we’ll stick to carrying medications in their original bottles from now on.

We use these for travel!
They’re the perfect size.
If you want to label them, you can, but after visiting 20 countries and 31 states, I’ve never been asked to show proof of what my medicine is.
The only time I’d be concerned is if I was traveling with liquid medicine.

I’ve placed vitamins and supplements in the weekly containers, and I’ve also put all the different ones I need in an empty vitamin container without any problems on flights within the country.

I place all my pills (prescription, too, not just vitamins) in one of those “day of the week” containers.
It’s unmarked.
I’ve never had a problem.

Yes, you can bring your vitamin pills through TSA security.
It’s fine to keep them in ziplock bags, and labeling each day’s supply is a good idea.
Having a printout of the labels can help clarify what they are if needed.
Just make sure to keep them organized and easily accessible for inspection.
