Hi Faye,
I find that really odd that your doctor said 50,000 IU, as Iron is not measured in international units, but rather milligrams or mcg.
Generally, international units are used to measure "vitamins" such as A, C, E, D, etc...and not used for "minerals" such as iron.
1 IU vitamin A = 0.3 mcg (micrograms)
1 IU vitamin D = 0.025 mcg
1 IU vitamin E = 0.7 mcg as d-alpha tocopherol
The translation from IU to micograms or milligrams is different for every vitamin; and as far as I know there is no converting measurement for Iron to go from mcg or mg to IU; or vise versa.
Does anyone else have any information to share regarding this?
