How to Convert Serrapeptase IU to MG
Instructions
-
-
1
Identify the amount of serrapeptase you need to take. This information is on the prescription from your health care professional and will be in the form of IUs.
-
2
Generate the conversion factor for converting the IUs of serrapeptase into mg of serrapeptase. Serrapeptase is supplied in enteric-coated granules that provide 20,000 IU per 200 mg of serrapeptase.The conversion factor that will convert IUs to mg serrapeptase is 200 mg / 20,000 IU. You can simplify this to 1mg / 100 IU.

3
Multiply the amount of IUs by the conversion factor of 1/100 to yield the number of mg of serrapeptase you are to take. For example, your health care adviser recommends that you take 25,000 IUs of serrapeptase three times a day for three days. To find the number of mg you should take, multiply 25,000 by the conversion factor, 25,000 IU * 1 mg / 100 IU = 250 mg serrapeptase.
