In the target nutrition guide, some of the vitamins are listed as x amount of µg. What is an µg? I understand mcg, mg and g. I understand I.U., which are International Units, used for fat soluble vitamins. Most of my suppliments are in the gram scales and I.U., how does one covert these to µg?

Thank you
Tori
