What is 50ug (the u is done in a symbol way, stand for somthin) stand for?


Question:
if i take selenium of 50 ug is that safe? and whats the equivalent of that in mg?

Answers:
If the symbol has a long, drawn out tail for the u, then it stands for micrograms, which is a smaller quantity than micrograms (mg). 50 ug would be equal to .05 mg
thats microgram. one ug = one thousandth of a milligram(mg)! so 50 ug = 0.05 mg
50ug is 50 micrograms. There is 1000ug in 1mg (Milligram)and 1000mg in 1gram (so 50ug is 20 time smaller than 1mg) (1ug is 1millioneth of a gram) if that makes sence
