Formula & Theory - Microgram to IU Converter

Microgram to IU Converter uses this core formula:

IU = Micrograms × Substance-specific conversion factor

International units are based on biological activity, so the conversion from mass to IU is not universal. Vitamin D commonly uses 1 microgram = 40 IU. Vitamin A and vitamin E use different activity assumptions, and formulations can vary. This converter makes the factor visible so users can see exactly how the IU result was produced. Product labels and clinical guidance should be checked when the exact compound form matters.
