Supplements/rogaine checked luggage
Im going away for an extended period of time and wonder if i can bring like 30 bottles in supplements, 500g powder and 9mo use of rogaine and like 10 bottles of a special shampoo in my checked luggage without problems?
Going to bangkok first if that matters.

Personally I have traveled with in excess of 10kg of powder, all in factory-sealed packaging and I have traveled with ~100g of unlabeled powder that never got looked at. (I'm not aware of any commercial source, I have to buy all the components and mix it myself.)

Check on the regulations of your intended destinations - I'm aware of strict UAE rules (on what are mostly prescription drugs in the US, not unregulated supplements), and while they are not often enforced, an American with a one-day layover in DXB got caught and arrested this past January, with a prohibited drug for which he had a prescription.
Nutritional supplements are probably a different story, especially if in original commercial packaging, but what's prescription in one country is non-prescription in another and v.v.
The UAE regs are on the website of their Ministry of Health IIRC; state.gov may have links to other countries' information on its info for travelers pages.
