Read on to discover some crucial facts about IU and learn how to convert IU to mg or other metric units. 💡 Just to remind you — all of our calculators work both ways! That's why it's just as easy to convert mcg to IU as IU to mg. We try our best to make our Omni Calculators as precise and reliable as possible. However, this tool can never replace a professional doctor's assessment. If any health condition bothers you, consult a physician. What is IU?IU, the international unit, is a measure of biological activity of a given substance. The IU defines the effect, not the weight of a medium. The IU value is established by an international agreement. It is different for every drug, blood product, vitamin, vaccine, or hormone. 💉 Why do we use IU?The international unit (IU) can be usually spotted on packages of vitamin A, vitamin D, hCG or insulin. Sometimes it is easier to express the effect of a substance needed than the weight of it. For instance., suppose we know the required activity. In that case, if two similar substances have exactly the same weight but different activities, we can still easily calculate how much of them we really need to fulfill our requirements. 💡 We offer a range of different vitamin calculations! Conversion from mcg to IU — how does it work?Since International Units and metric weight units describe two entirely different qualities, we can't convert all the substances the same way. We need to know the exact value of IU per mcg that should be applied in a given situation. Our mcg to IU converter comprises an extensive list of different compounds that can be translated into metric units and vice versa. They are all sorted in alphabetical order. How to convert mcg to IU for vitamin A?Let's translate mcg into IU using 3 simple steps:
ps. You can simply turn IU to mg, by choosing the equation: How to convert 1500 IU to mcg for vitamin D?Another easy, yet useful skill to acquire! We'll finish this task in no time.
How to convert 500 mcg to IU?We can't answer this question if we don't know the exact conversion factor of a specific substance we'd like to convert.

As of now, no vitamin or mineral has a conversion factor that is equal to one. Therefore, there is no case in which these two values could equal one another.
How many IU are in a mg?Each IU Vitamin has its specific mass of millimetre, which differ from one vitamin to another, and to convert from IU to Mg, you must know the converting value. Vitamin E: 1 IU is the biological equivalent of about 0.67 mg d-alpha-tocopherol or 0.9 mg of dl-alpha-tocopherol.
