Question
How to calculate the amount of Vitamin K2 MK-7 (in micrograms) present in one gram of 0.2% concentration powder, and how does this relate to the typical daily recommended dosage?
Answer
Yes, your understanding is correct. 0.2% of Vitamin K2 MK-7 powder means that in one gram of the powder, there is 0.2% of K2 MK-7 by weight. To calculate this in micrograms: 0.2% of 1 gram is (0.2 / 100) * 1 gram = 0.002 grams. Converting grams to micrograms (1 gram = 1,000,000 micrograms), we get 0.002 grams * 1,000,000 mcg/gram = 2000 micrograms. So, one gram of the 0.2% powder contains 2000 mcg of Vitamin K2 MK-7. You also mentioned that the daily intake is typically between 100 to 300 mcg, which is correct.
