What Is The Difference Between 400 Mcg And 5 Mg Of Folic Acid?

The answer given to the question What is the difference between 400 mcg and 5 mg folic acid is flat out wrong. Dr. Jitender Chauhan s response was 400 mcg = 4 mg. This really should be corrected to read 400 mcg = 0.4 mg. My question is who is going to fix this?

Hello. I have gone through your question. 1 miligram has 1000 micrograms, so 400 mcg does mean 0.4 mg. So 5 mg does mean 5000 mcg. You are right. For other queries you can talk on HCM customer care. They will take your complaint/suggestion seriously and do what is required. Thanks and Regards.
