Peptide Unit Converter
Convert between milligrams (mg), micrograms (mcg), and International Units (IU) with compound-specific conversion factors. Essential for accurate peptide dosing calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What units are commonly used for peptide dosing?
Peptide doses are typically measured in micrograms (mcg), milligrams (mg), or International Units (IU). This converter handles mg-to-mcg conversions and compound-specific IU conversions for peptides like HGH, insulin, and BPC-157.
How do I convert between mg and mcg for peptides?
1 milligram (mg) = 1,000 micrograms (mcg). So 250 mcg = 0.25 mg. Many peptides like BPC-157 are dosed in mcg while GLP-1 drugs use mg. This converter handles both directions instantly.
How do I convert IU to mg for growth hormone peptides?
The IU to mg conversion depends on the specific peptide. For HGH, 1 mg approximately equals 3 IU. For insulin, 1 IU is about 0.0347 mg. This converter includes peptide-specific conversion factors for accurate results.
