What Is An International Unit?
IU stands for International units and is a unit commonly used in the measurement of medications, vaccines and vitamins. This means that converting between international units and micrograms or milligrams is not a simple calculation and we can’t provide a converter to do this calculation for you (sorry about that).
How To Find Out The Conversion Value?
If you want to find out how many micrograms (mcg) or milligrams (mg) are in one IU of your medication, you could contact your pharmacist to find out.
For a vitamin, consider contacting the vitamin manufacturer – their contact information is usually listed on the bottle. Converting from mg or mcg to IU for Vitamins A, C, D and E
We’ve included mass equivalents of 1 IU for selected vitamins below. Please use it at your own risk.
As with all calculations where health could suffer from inaccurate conversions, you are advised to check with a health professional before taking a dosage of any vitamin or supplement. If you wish to convert between micrograms (mcg) and milligrams (mg) you can do so using the mcg to mg converter. Advertisement
