Supplements to bring with you when traveling

Depending on the kind of traveling you are doing, there are supplements that you can take to make your trip as enjoyable as possible. Sometimes, a trip at sea or a long airplane ride can make people uneasy or anxious. Other times, people can feel nausea or upset to their stomach. Bringing along natural supplements can help treat any symptoms or illnesses that you may feel while traveling.

1) Travel Anxiety

Some people are nervous when they travel – things that are new and unease about the unknown can make people understandably anxious. To help naturally treat those feelings L-Theanine is an amino acid that can support anxiety. L-Theanine helps support mental calmness and increases relaxation by helping dopamine into the brain. You can find natural supplements that have L-theanine in them at your local drug store.

2) Motion Sickness

People who decide to go on a cruise or another vessel at sea are prone to feeling some sort of motion sickness or sea sickness. There are a few natural things you can consume to help ease your stomach. Peppermint and ginger are two great examples of natural aides to relieve motion sickness. Peppermint chewing gum, ginger ale, and mints are some things you can consume if you don’t have the natural supplements at hand.

3) Traveler’s Diarrhea

It’s common for travelers to have their microbial balance in the digestive tract disturbed during travel, especially by drinking unknown or new water. To help keep that from happening to you while  traveling, it’s important to supplement with probiotics ahead of your trip. Beginning probiotics before your trip will give your immune system a head start. Also, while on your trip try to stick to bottled water as much as possible to limit the chance of a microbial imbalance.
