Before the checkpoint
Three calls that matter
TSA does not require original bottles or labels for vitamins. A weekly pill organizer is fine.
Checked bags get lost. Anything you take daily belongs in the bag that stays with you.
A few countries restrict specific supplements. Vitamins are rarely an issue, but check if you carry large quantities.
