Carrying protein on airplane

Viciado · 10-05-2006, 06:16 PM

Here's what i have:
300g Flax seed powder
100g vitamin b5 powder
500g taurine
300g ALCAR
500g Creatine EE Hcl (Tubbed)
10lb Whey protein concentrate (Tubbed)

Now, i'll be returning to Portugal by airplane (departing from UK), and i want to take all of this. I have the right to carry 20kgs, so no problem with the weight. The thing is i started thinking, and i'm afraid that with all this control on airports that some problem might occur due to the nature of all of this(powders and substances that could be considered medical (like the B5 vitamin). What if some ignoramus on the airport arranges some trouble with this? Anyone has any experiences carrying stuff on international flights (within europe)?

I often think about this, i'm going to france for 6 days and want to take whey and bcaa caps...

Surely if this is allowed it would be extremely easy to transport steroids/drugs between country to country?

If you were to put say dianabol tabs instead of some cancer treatment pill jar I dont see why you could not get away with it. And for amps just use an insulin logo or something.

I mean how much can those dogs sniff? Cant know all the different pharmaceuticals can they. :S

In the European Union we can take gear/medicine with us anywhere if its personal use amounts. I've taken juice with me and brought it back from Egypt in large numbers with no hassle at all.

Don't worry you'll have no problems. None of these product have limits within the EU. The amount you are carying is nothing.

I see no problem with taking any of that over, they sell supplements like creatine / protien in shops like Boots at most airports dont they? I brought some creatine from Boots at Gatwick airport last year just before I left for spain.

I think they are just more worried about the class A stuff. Which the dogs would sniff out anyways.
