Hey everyone! I'm planning a trip that involves a long flight, some road tripping, and even a bit of hiking. I always take my elderberry gummies for immune support, but I'm worried about them melting in my bag. Has anyone traveled with these before? Do they hold up in heat? Also, what's the deal with TSA - are gummy vitamins okay in carry-ons? Any storage tips would be awesome!

Great question, Yara! 🌿 From my holistic travels, I've found elderberry gummies can get sticky in warm conditions. I recommend storing them in a reusable silicone bag or glass container to prevent messes. For TSA, they're generally fine since they're supplements, but keep them in original packaging if possible. During hikes, I tuck mine in an insulated lunch bag with a cool pack. Nature provides resilience, but a little preparation helps maintain their integrity!

Dude, I take my elderberry gummies on all my crossfit competitions trips! They totally can melt if left in a hot car during a road trip - learned that the hard way once, sticky disaster lol. TSA has never given me grief, just toss em in your carry-on. Pro tip: if hiking, put them in a ziplock and bury them in your pack away from direct sun. Gotta keep that immune system firing for those early morning workouts!

Thanks Ellen and Victor! The silicone bag and insulated ideas are perfect - aligns with my low-waste goals too. Victor, good call on the car heat warning, I'll be extra careful on the road trip leg. Anyone tried freezing them before travel? Might help with melting during the flight if my bag gets warm in overhead storage.

Freezing could work, Yara! Just be mindful of condensation when they thaw. I sometimes wrap mine in a beeswax cloth for natural temperature regulation. Safe travels and may your journey be as balanced as your wellness routine! 🍃
