Why is Better D3 + K2 measured in micrograms (mcg) instead of milligrams (mg)?Updated 5 hours ago

Great question! Micrograms (mcg) are a smaller unit of measurement than milligrams (mg)—1 mg equals 1,000 mcg. We use micrograms because vitamins like D3 and K2 are extremely potent, and your body only needs small, precise amounts for them to be effective and safe.

Even though the numbers on the label might seem small, microgram dosing is actually the most accurate and safe way to deliver these nutrients. For example, 100 mcg is the same as 0.1 mg—it’s not a weaker dose, just a more precise one designed to support optimal absorption and effectiveness.
