weights and messures

 

could someone share with me a conversion chart that would show me

for example how many mg's are in 400 iu's?. (i didn't see anything

in archives) thanks.

 

 

Here is a conversion table for the various forms of vitamin E between

milligrams and IUs.

 

Kind regards

Vitamin E

 

Vitamin E must be calculated as mg of d-alpha tocopherol equivalents (a-TE).

To convert iu of vitamin E to mg, divide by 1,49.

eg 14,9 iu vitamin E = 10 mg vitamin E

100 iu vitamin E = 67 mg vitamin E

 

1 mg of vitamin E (a-TE) = 1,000 mg d.alpha-tocopherol itself

= 1,096 mg d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate

= 1,231 mg d-alpha-tocopheryl acid succinate

= 1,355 mg dl-alpha-tocopherol

= 1,490 mg dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate

= 1,674 mg dl-alpha-tocopheryl acid succinate

 

Table: Relative biological activities of different forms of Vitamin E

mg per iu iu per mg

d-alpha-tocopherol 0,67 1,49

d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate 0,735 1,36

d-alpha-tocopheryl acid succinate 0,83 1,21

dl-alpha-tocopherol 0,91 1,10

dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate 1,00 1,00

dl-alpha-tocopheryl acid succinate 1,12 0,89
