Thank you very much, Wayne. That clears it up considerably. I may get a
good scale one of these days- it makes me smile when I think about
having my very own lab. The best I can do now is a rude postage scale,
good enough for the govt, but not nearly so for this kind of thing.

Evening Kathryn,

Well, bear with me here, 1000 mg is 1/4 tsp? which is about the
amount fitting in a capsule?
Are you talking about Boron Specifically, or weights per spoonful
in general?
Your last statement sounds like you are talking about volume and
weights in general.
It is very hard to say any specific volume is equal to a specific
weight unless you state the material, and it would be good to actually
state the compound.
It is hard to even weigh how much a spoonful weighs unless you weigh
50 to 100 and average them. The dip and the leveling will change the
weight a few units.
Consider this........
1/4 tsp Sea Salt 1360 mg
1/2 tsp Sea Salt 2591 mg
1 tsp Sea Salt 4895 mg
This is salt I ground from course salt. It is ground fine and appears
to have some moisture content.
Vitamin C Powder, Fine, Very Dry
1/4 tsp 1166 mg
1/2 tsp 2721
1 tsp 4730
Notice the larger units are not multiples of the smaller ones in
either case. This is due to variation of dipping, leveling, and
consistency or the material. I did not do a set of averages.
so 30 mg is a very tiny amount.
Yes, usually.
I am not at all sure of my memory here with regard to a gram (1000mg)
and a tsp.
Colostrum is near 2000 mg per tsp. Heaped, it can be 2500.
All I am saying, never bet much, certainly not your health or your
life on a volume to weight ratio unless you have checked it.
Sometimes you can trust the manufacturer of the material, sometimes
not.
Most people do not have a accurate scale to measure mg.
If you are going to do anything serious along these lines, consider
investing in an accurate scale.
Then you do not have to guess, hope, wish or wonder.
