How much is 1000 mg? What does that mean?

Answer by  Get (31)

This measurement is from the basics of physics. It is actually quite simple. Standard size for mass is kg (kilogram). 1kg is equal to 1000gr (grams). And as we go on smaller units, we get to 1 gram. 1gr is equal to 1000mg (miligrams). 1000mg of vitamins is not a small ammount, but it depends on the purpose.

One thousand milligrams is just what it says. Look at the label on the bottle to see how many milligrams is in each tablet. Then take the number of pills you need to take to total the one thousand. For example, if each tablet has 250 milligrams, you need to take four of them to equal one thousand milligrams.

1000 mg (milligrams) is equal to 1 gram, which in turn is approximately 1/28th of an ounce. This represents the dosage you are supposed to take of the specified vitamin. Keep in mind that vitamins should be taken at the discretion of your doctor if you are taking medication.
