Learning Library
A short path through the concepts that make research and calculations easier to understand.
Why mg, mcg, mL and “units” are different
Four labels can describe very different quantities. Understand the distinction before making a calculation.
Explore this resource ↗What changes when a powder becomes a solution?
Explore mass, final volume and concentration without assuming a universal preparation method.
Explore this resource ↗How strong is the evidence behind a claim?
Read a paper with its study type, population and limitations in view.
Explore this resource ↗Why a blend needs more than one number
Understand ingredient ratios and why evidence for one component does not validate a mixture.
Explore this resource ↗Check a conversion, with the formula visible
Use your own quantities and see how mass becomes concentration and equivalent volume.

A practical introduction
Learn the terminology and how to separate a compound name from a research finding.
Start with peptide basics →02 / CONNECT THE UNITS
Give every number a unit
Understand how mass, volume and concentration relate—and why they aren’t interchangeable.
Read the measurement guide →03 / READ WITH CONTEXT
Look beyond the headline
Check the study type, the population and the limitations before interpreting a claim.
Explore the evidence guide →Small units. Simple conversions.
Convert mass or volume with the relationship shown.
RESULT1,000 mcg1 mg × 1,000 = 1,000 mcg
Unit conversion only. Converting mass to volume requires a concentration.

A little less jargon.
Twelve useful definitions to keep the research and the numbers in context.
12 terms
Milligram (mg)
A unit of mass. One milligram equals 1,000 micrograms.
Microgram (mcg or µg)
A unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a milligram. The labels mcg and µg mean the same unit.
Milliliter (mL)
A unit of volume. One milliliter equals 1,000 microliters.
Microliter (µL)
A unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a milliliter.
Concentration
The amount of a substance per unit of volume, for example milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL).
Mass versus volume
Mass describes an amount of material; volume describes the space it occupies. A mass cannot be converted to a solution volume without knowing the concentration.
Dilution
Reducing a solution’s concentration by adding solvent. The amount of the original dissolved substance stays the same if none is lost.
Formulation
The ingredients and physical form of a product. Products with a similar ingredient name can have different formulations.
In vitro
Research conducted outside a living organism, such as in a cell culture. Its findings do not by themselves establish effects in humans.
Clinical trial
A research study involving human participants that evaluates an intervention under a defined protocol.
Control group
A comparison group in a study, used to help interpret the effect of the intervention being studied.
Primary source
An original report of research or data. Reading it can reveal details and limitations omitted from a summary.
