Conversion Question

[Sgt. Hartman]

Someone please check my math. Natural GH release is measured in micrograms and I'm reading studies on natural GH release and trying to compare it to GH supplementation in iu. So, if 1mg = 1000micrograms and 1mg GH = 2.7iu then 1microgram = .0027iu? So a natural release of 600micrograms would equal 1.62iu.

I think this is correct but I've thought about this way too much and I'm confusing myself by over thinking it - I could use some clarity (or maybe more GH). LOL

1mg = 3iu
1mg = 1000mcg
1000mcg = 3iu
1mcg = 0.003iu

1mg = 3iu
700ug = .7mg
.7mg = 2.1iu This is how much HGH an adolescent secretes in a day
.4mg = 1.2iu This is how much HGH an adult secretes in a day
