Bob,

You, and others, should note that "IU" is not the same as "mg"...

1 mcg vitamin D (cholecalciferol) = 40 IU  (note this is 1 micro-grams)

1000 IU equals 25 micrograms  (note this is 25 micro-grams)

therefore, 50,000 IU is about 1.25 mg  (note this is 1.2 milli-grams)

Now, 1 mg is equal to 40,000 IUs and 50,000 mg is equal to 2,000,000,000 IUs
