Vitamin Conversions – International Units (IU) to mg or mcg

When you look at a food label, you might be confused at the variety of different measurements used to indicate how much of each vitamin is in that food. You’ll find terms like mg, mcg, IU and more. Why are there a variety of different terms used, and how do you convert between these different units?

International Units (IU) are one of the standardized units used to calculate or measure vitamin potency and biological effectiveness. IUs are preferred rather than weight for many vitamins, because different vitamin forms can have different levels of potency. IUs provide a standardized way to calculate a vitamin’s potency across different vitamin forms.

Andaming nagtatanong sa DM from my regular stories kaya minsanan ko na lang sasagutin dito.

Nakakatulong ba ang USANA Cellsentials sa laging may sipon at ubo?

Any supplements in the Philippines cannot promise cure, treatment or disease prevention. But here’s my simplest explanation: In principle, having good nutrient status supports your immune system and may make it more resilient to infections (flu) or less reactive (allergies).

-Vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, D, A, zinc, and selenium are known to support immune function. For instance, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased risk of respiratory infections.

-Antioxidants reduce oxidative stress, which can play a role in inflammation and immune responses. The phytonutrients in CellSentials may support these systems.

-Quercetin and similar flavonoids have been studied for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant roles; some small studies suggest they might reduce allergic responses.

USANA is heavily science-based (150 scientists, hundreds of clinical trials) when it comes to formulating the optima nutrients your body needs. Supplements can support health as part of a broader lifestyle (healthy diet, sleep, stress-management, avoiding exposures) but they are not a substitute.

Should I take supplements with a meal?

There are several reasons it can be beneficial to take dietary supplements with food or a complete meal.

One reason is to buffer the stomach (especially important for those with sensitive stomachs).
Another reason is to increase consistency and compliance with the recommended dosage. Many people find it easier to form a habit of taking supplements alongside a meal, as opposed to taking them separately.

Perhaps the best reason to take supplements with a meal is that some nutrients (e.g. fat-soluble nutrients and calcium) typically have improved absorption when taken with a meal or snack.

Stay Healthy Behind Your Desk: Get Active in the Office

“Sitting is the new smoking”—this is the latest catch phrase surrounding health. Yes, perhaps it’s a bit alarmist, but the notion holds true. Sitting for extended periods can be detrimental to your health. And alas, many of us spend most of the day sitting.

One study reveals more than a quarter of American adults sit for over eight hours a day. This sitting epidemic has one major culprit: the desk job. If you work a nine-to-five in the office, that’s eight hours in a chair right there. Not to mention time spent relaxing at home.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Learn the health risks of sitting at a desk all day and what you can do to stay healthy while working your desk job.

Learn to Start Again: Giving Your Health Goals Another Shot

If you ask just about anyone about their health and wellness, they’re probably willing to admit there’s room for improvement. Most adults simply aren’t as healthy as they want to be. And, at one time or another, most have tried to change this.

All too often, the story is the same. You decide to be healthier, and you come up with an action plan. Whether it is exercising more, eating nutritious meals, or a combination of the two. You stick to your plan for two weeks. Or a month. And then life gets in the way and your new habits get dropped just as fast as they came.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Creating new health habits is a challenge, to say the least. Successfully adopting a healthier lifestyle requires persistence, the ability to identify good mistakes, and, in most cases, the willingness to start something again.

How to start again. Learning from your mistakes can help you make better goals on your health and wellness journey.
