Supplement and medication labels mix units: 1 milligram (mg) = 1,000 micrograms (mcg, also written µg). Converting between mcg, mg, grams and nanograms prevents dosing mistakes when comparing products or following a prescription.
Note that IU (international units) are substance-specific — for vitamin D, 1 mcg = 40 IU, while vitamin E differs — so check your label. This tool handles the metric mass units; always confirm dosing with a pharmacist or doctor.
Quick reference — 1 Microgram (mcg) is equal to:
| Nanogram | ng | 1,000 |
| Milligram | mg | 0.001 |
| Gram | g | 0.000001 |
