Conversion from International Units (IU) to Milligrams (mg)

Introduction to IU to mg Conversion

Converting International Units (IU) to milligrams (mg) is a common task in pharmaceuticals and nutrition, especially when dealing with vitamins and medications. The conversion depends on the substance's potency, expressed as IU per mg. This measures how many International Units are contained in one milligram of the substance.

Parameter usage:

• amountIu= amount in International Units
• potencyIuPerMg= potency of the substance (International Units per milligram)

Example valid values:

• amountIu= 2000
• potencyIuPerMg= 200

Output:

• Coefficient that converts IU to mg for a given substance based on its potency.

Data validation

Both parameters must be greater than zero to perform the calculation correctly.

Summary

This calculator helps convert IU to mg based on the potency of the substance in question. This is particularly useful for accurately dosing vitamins, supplements, and medications.
