Hi everyone, I'll be arriving in South Korea next month and was wondering if anyone knows if I'll have problems with powder supplements. I plan on taking the following:

Wheatgrass
Cayenne Pepper
Bentonite Clay
Psyllium Husk

The wheatgrass is obviously green (and in a clear bag) and the clay is off white, so I wouldn't want them mistakened for something else

Should I declare them or just keep them in my main luggage (not carry on) and leave it be?

Original (store / retail type) packaging = continue unless stopped and it is asked about.

Re-packaged or unprocessed (looks like you did it at home instead of bought it in a store) and you are asking for problems.

You SHOULD keep it in the original packaging, but I have brought unlabeled gallon zip bags of various green/brown powders with no problems.

Thanks for the replies I'll be sure to keep things in their retail packaging just to be on the safe side..

I take ziploc bags (i.e. not original packaging) of green tea, creatine, whey protein powder, BCAAs, etc. with me everytime I travel, and I've never been stopped. If I did though, I figure they'd just test it and see that it's not anything illegal.
