For as liberating and exciting as modern travel may be, it definitely takes a toll on your body. Going the distance brings jet lag, new foods, unusual environments, and sometimes stress. Regardless of whether you're staying close to home or getting off the grid, maintaining your well-being should always be at the top of the to-do list. Building up your immune system predeparture and maintaining personal health while on the road doesn't have to be difficult. Habitual jet-setters and world wanderers should keep reading for the 15 best vitamins and supplements that every traveler should have on hand.

01
Echinacea

Echinacea

This Golden Echinacea ($14) is a fast-acting immune booster that travelers can add to juice and tea, or take on its own leading up to, during, and following a trip.

02
Moringa Powder

Moringa Powder

Kuli Kuli Pure Moringa Vegetable Powder ($39) comes with 20 individual packets, each containing one full serving that you can add to any drink on the go. The superfood is ideal for those moments when you're lacking a balanced, nutritious diet.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D

If you're heading to a warm climate and expect to be in the sun, Nature Made's Vitamin D3 Supplement Softgels ($8) may be a good idea. They're also great for helping your immune system to fight off foreign intruders.

04
Collagen

Collagen

Planes, trains, and automobiles can be extremely dehydrating, and unfortunately our skin suffers because of it. Vital Proteins has created Collagen Beauty Water Stick Packs ($49) — natural elixirs made with collagen, probiotics, and hyaluronic acid to help improve skin appearance. It's important to drink lots of water while traveling, and if you can add an extra boost of hydration, it's even better!

Probiotics

Traveling tends to mess with your gut and digestive system so Hyperbiotics Pro-15 Probiotic Pearls ($25) will help to keep things normal and happy. Take one every day, and you won't have to struggle.

06
Activated Charcoal

Activated Charcoal

Have food poisoning or a debilitating hangover kept you from getting out of bed and making the most of your day? Pure Organic Activated Charcoal Capsules ($15) are a natural supplement that will help reduce toxicity in your body and relieve symptoms of stomach bugs.

07
Oil of Oregano

Oil of Oregano

Source Naturals Wellness Oil of Oregano ($18) is a powerful antimicrobial and antifungal agent that can be dropped into water, milk, or juice just a couple of times a day. The immune system is always susceptible to illness while traveling, and these drops will help to keep you healthy and exploring.

08
Vitamin C

Vitamin C

Pure Synergy Pure Radiance C ($20) is a superior form of the classic vitamin C that uses organic wild berries like camu camu, amla, and acerola. It's an easy, everyday vitamin for a strong immune system!

Magnesium can provide relief when stubborn bowels become a problem while away from home. Nature Made Magnesium Citrate ($12) uses a high-absorption formula that can also be used as a sleep aid, which is another common issue while traveling.

Me+My Digest Results Dietary Enzyme Supplement ($10) is 100 percent natural and will be incredibly helpful when those new foods cause discomfort and the airplane meals give you heartburn, irregularity, or bloating.

13
Ashwgandha

Ashwgandha

If traveling makes you anxious, you'll want Nature's Answer Alcohol-Free Ashwagandha Root ($12). It's a natural way to calm yourself down and is as easy as adding a few drops to some water.

Melatonin

When you're sleeping in different time zones or catching some zzzs on a flight, it can be tough to get the proper rest. Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve Tablets ($10) taste like strawberries and quickly give your body that natural hormone needed for drowsy-free sleep.
