Mcg for Dummies

noun


What does Mcg really mean?

93 1

Alright, so "Mcg" is short for "microgram." But what's a microgram, you ask? Well, think of it as a tiny, tiny amount of something - like a super-mini-measurement. It's even smaller than a milligram, which is already a really small amount. So, when you see "Mcg" on a label or in a recipe, it's telling you the amount of something in a very teeny-tiny measurement. For example, if a doctor prescribes a medication, they might tell you to take 25 Mcg of it. It's really just a way to measure things that are so small, they're kind of hard to wrap your head around. But just remember, "Mcg" means microgram, and that means it's a super small amount of something. Cool, right?
