RedoseIU to mg calculator
Convert growth-hormone peptides between international units and milligrams using your compound's IU/mg factor.
Growth-hormone peptides are often labelled in international units (IU). Enter the amount in mg and the IU-per-mg factor for your compound (HGH is about 3 IU/mg).
About the iu to mg calculator
Growth-hormone and some other peptides are labelled in international units (IU) rather than milligrams, which makes dosing confusing when a protocol mixes the two. This calculator converts between them.
Enter the amount in mg and the IU-per-mg factor for your specific compound, recombinant HGH is conventionally about 3 IU per mg. The tool returns the equivalent in IU and how many micrograms each IU represents.
The IU/mg factor is compound-specific and set by the manufacturer's potency, so always use the figure on your product rather than assuming 3 IU/mg for everything.
FAQ
How do I convert IU to mg?
Divide the IU by the compound's IU-per-mg factor. At the common 3 IU/mg for HGH, 1 IU is about 0.33 mg, so 6 IU is roughly 2 mg. Enter your factor for an exact figure.
Is 1 mg always 3 IU?
No. 3 IU/mg is the conventional figure for recombinant human growth hormone, but the factor depends on the specific compound and its potency. Use the value stated on your product.
What is an international unit?
An IU measures biological activity rather than mass, so the mg equivalent varies by substance. That is why this calculator asks for an IU-per-mg factor instead of assuming one.
