No. 2,000 IU is a very modest dose - which can be taken daily. However, vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, and should not be taken in excess.
Is a 1000 IU Vitamin D the same as 1000 mg of Vitamin D
Keep in mind that conversions from IU to mg are specific for each vitamin, so this formula/answer is only applicable for Vitamin D. You first have to convert the 2,000 IU into mcg. Each IU of Vitamin D is equal to 40 mcg, so you divide 2,000 by 40 which equals 50. Then you have to convert the mcg amount into mg which you do by dividing the mcg amount by 100. In this case 50 divided by 100, which equals 0.5, which means that 2,000 IU of Vitamin D is 0.5 mg
The international unit (IU) is not a measure of mass but only a measure of the drug effect.
It is not uncommon for a dose or two in tens or even hundreds of thousands of IU to be given to correct a long-standing Vitamin D deficiency then followed up with a daily dose of between 1000 and 4000 IU. Vitamin D experts are currently urging our health agencies to set a higher daily upper limit than the current 2000 IU/d. Studies have suggested that after severe deficiency the body needs its tank filled up in order to begin storing Vitamin D normally again.
The Adequate Intake for Vitamin D is as follows:Birth to 50 years: 200 IU/day51 to 70 years: 400 IU/day71+years: 600 IU/day
1 IU is the biological equivalent of about 0.667 mg d-alpha-tocopherol (2/3 mg exactly), or of 1 mg of dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate
A huge number. Doses of vitamin D are usually measured in mcg (micrograms), not mg (milligrams). You would have to take eight hundred thousand 5000 IU tablets of vitamin D to be one hundred thousand MG. That's 800,000 5000 iu tablets of vitamin D = 100,000 mg. Even if you mean micrograms (mcg) it would require eight hundred (800) 5000 iu tablets of vitamin D to be 100,000 mcg. 800 5000 iu tablets of vitamin D = 100,000 mcg.
i take 50000 units vitamin d how many mgs is that
1000 IU Vitamin D = 25 mcg Vitamin D = 0.025 mg Vitmain D. to convert IU of vitamin D divide by 40 to get mcg, divide by 40,000 to get mg. The minimum daily requirements for vitamin D have been markedly increased recently, and there is great confusion since the commercial products are still labeled as IU (International Units) while the research papers are stated in units of ug (micrograms) and mg. I spotted many unanswered questions regarding this conversion factor. *I need conversion to/from a measure that looks like ug, where the u has a tail like a lower case p. Is this the same as IU or what? How much is 100 u(plustail)g Vitamin D?
150,000 IU ergocalciferol
10,000 IU or go to a physician and if your vitamin D level is low, he/she can give you prescription doses at 50,000 IU per pill which you take weekly for roughly 3 months. Afterward you get your levels checked to see where you fall. Be very careful taking doses higher than 5,000 IU daily if you don't know your current vitamin D status.
1 mcg vitamin D (cholecalciferol) = 40 IU Let´s say you have 300 IU of vitamin D: 300 / 40 = 7,5 mcg vit. D Then you would have to convert 7,5 mcg to mg: 7,5 / 1000 = 0,0075 mg vitamin D.
