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
40 IU of vitamin D= 1 mcg
40 iu
10000
50 mcg
Is a 1000 IU Vitamin D the same as 1000 mg of Vitamin D
The international unit (IU) is not a measure of mass but only a measure of the drug effect.
i take 50000 units vitamin d how many mgs is that
150,000 IU ergocalciferol
50000 iu
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.
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.
One unit of Vitamin D equals One International Unit of Vitamin D. Another name for International Unit is IU, but there is no such thing as a "unit" of Vitamin D.
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
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?
Vitamin D: 1 IU is the biological equivalent of 0.025 μg cholecalciferol/ergocalciferol 1000iu=25ug
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.
