Traveling with Collagen Gummies – How Do They Hold Up?
Flying to Cancun tomorrow and my collagen gummies are a staple. Anyone had issues with them melting in luggage? Are they TSA-friendly? I'm carrying a whole bottle. Thanks!
I traveled with mine last year on a cross-country road trip. They did get a bit soft in the car, but a few hours in a cooler fixed them. For planes, I'd keep them in carry-on – TSA doesn't bat an eye. They're gummies, not liquids. Just don't leave them in a hot car for hours!
I took mine hiking in the Grand Canyon. They held up fine in my backpack, but I wrapped them in a damp cloth to keep cool. Probably overkill, but better safe than sticky. Also, store them in a dark place – light can degrade collagen.
As long as they're not exposed to extreme heat (like 90°F+ for hours), they stay solid. TSA doesn't care. I'm hardcore into fasting so I always pack them as a nice non-caloric treat during travel. Keep the bottle in your personal bag – easier access and less pressure changes.
