"Over the counter" meds/vitamins on international travel
Does anyone know much about carrying "health supplement" type medicines, like say fish oil, or vitamins, or other things that are "over the counter"? It has been years since I traveled out of the country.
I take several supplements like that I would like to carry along, just don't have much room, and all the original bottles are pretty big. (heading to Central America next month) Traveling inside the US, I can put them all in a daily-dose type container, but I have a feeling that won't work for international travel.
I would never check my prescription meds, but I could just throw all the vitamins and stuff in a daily dose container and check it... But, wondering about the customs guys at the other end... they might not like that.
Any suggestions? Or will I just have to check a bunch of big bottles...
