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?

How many 5000 iu tablets should you take for 100000mg of vitamin d?
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.

How do you convert 2000 IU of vitamin D3 to mg?
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

How do you convert 5000 iu of vitamin A to mg?
Recalculate it from the IU-definition for VitA, but be sure the difference betweenretinol (C20H30O) and β-carotene (C40H56), both can be taken to be Vitamin A!By definition for Vitamin A:1 IU vitamin A is the biological equivalent of 0.3 μg retinol, or of 0.6 μg β-caroteneExamples:6 μg of dietary β-carotene is equivalent to 3⅓ IU of vitamin A and is equivalent to 3⅓ IU of vitamin A.This same amount also supplies the equivalent of 1 μg of retinol (or 1 RE =Retinol Equivalent) and is also equivalent to 3⅓ IU of vitamin A.So 5000 IU is 1500 μg retinol or 3000 μg β-carotene
How do you convert 400 iu vitamin E to mg?
15 I.U. Vitamin E = 10mg, so 400 I.U. would =266.67 mg. (400/15x10=266.67). The World Health Organization sets the I.U. (International Units) for some medications, and vitamins, each of these has a different I.U. to mg ratio, and you have to find a reference to this ratio to be able to convert I.U to milligrams. It depends on hat the Vitamin E is as, example dl-alpha tocopheryl or dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate, check the chart on the following link for more info
How do you convert 5000 iu vitamin D into mcg?
To convert mcg to mg: Divide by 1000 OR multiply by 0.001 OR move the decimal 3 places to the left (they all mean the same thing), so 500mcg = .5mg. Similarly, 1000mcg = 1mg, 2500mcg = 2.5mg, etc. AND to convert in the opposite direction, mg to mcg, multiply by 1000, so 3mg = 3000mcg, 1.5mg = 1500mcg, etc.
How do you convert IU to mg?
an IU is not a standardized unit that can be converted to mg with a single formula. IUs means something different for each item (usually vitamins) it is used for. So for one vitamin you could have 1000IUs and it is 10mg, whereas 10mg of another vitamin is only 100IU.
