Years ago a dr told me to start taking 400 ui of folic acid.
Now i find folic acid is labeled as 400 msg not 400 ui.Is 400 msg equal to 400 ui?ThanksF
Generally speaking, you can't convert between IU and MCG. IU's measure the potency of a drug, not its mass or weight. You can only measure between MG and MCG. 1000 micrograms (mcg) = 1 milligram (mg); so 400 mcg will be equal to just 4 mg
Folic acid 400 mcg does equal 100 percent daily value for this nutrient.
NOTE: If you can determine what percent daily value 400 iu of folic acid is, then you can essentially compare mcg vs iu.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, that is the conversion I was looking for!
I have a question as well what is the percentage of folic acid a woman needs a day while pregnant? Any one know.
You need a calculator pal to get this right! Giving wrong info to preggies isn't a cool thing.
1 mg= 1000 mcg and 0.4 mg= 400 mcg
My sister is 12 years old and her doctor was prescribing folic acid 400mcg. Now she finished and still she is sick, so i went to buy another one but all the pharmacies only carry 5mg. Can i give her that 5mg of folic acid?
I take folic acid 1mg daily. =1pill. If I brought 400 mcg how many would I take?
You made a mistake in your math. Since 1000mcg equals 1mg (milligrams) then 400mcg which is less than half of 1000mcgs would equal .4mg, not 4mg. So 400mcg is a bit under 1/2mg.
Math error! It's .4mg, less than half a milligram. You left off the decimal point. Important difference, 4mg vs. 1/2mg.
I have prescription for 1mg, but I have 400 Mcg at home how many of the 490mcg should I take
Re: David (# 2)
If you stated 1000mcg = 1mg so wouldn't 400mcg = 0.4mg not 4mg?
