Question
I have purchased `Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin 1%)` powder. If my goal is to consume 500 µg of Vitamin B12 daily, is it correct that I need to take 50 mg of this powder per day?
Answer
For Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin 1%), if you wish to obtain 500 µg (micrograms) of Vitamin B12, you would need to consume 50 milligrams of the Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin 1%) powder per day.
Calculation Explanation:
- The product you have is Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin 1%), which means that for every 100 milligrams of powder, there is 1 milligram of Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12).
- You require 500 micrograms (µg) of Vitamin B12, which is equivalent to 0.5 milligrams (mg).
- Therefore, to get 0.5 milligrams of Vitamin B12, you would need to use:
(0.5 mg Vitamin B12 / 1 mg Vitamin B12) * 100 mg powder = 50 mg powder
