I am traveling to South Africa and I am bringing supplements such as colostrum (made from milk) for immune support, placenta (from sheep) for smooth skin, and mussel (for joint health). The supplements are new and not opened. I found that the South Africa customs do not allow animal products (restrict products) as follows:

Restricted Goods

Certain goods may only be imported provided you are in possession of the necessary authority/permit.
"Animals, birds, poultry and products thereof, for example dairy products, butter and eggs"

Do supplements categorised as animal products? Can I bring?

But then, there are difference between medication and supplement. You can skip medication, but not supplement. I'm still confuse whether I could bring coz my supplements are expensive man... if being confiscated, that's bad

I read somewhere that it is not advisable to change the container as the officer may ask about the contents. Am I right?
