Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

The units you're asking about are milligram (mg) and microgram (µg)
In both cases, the base unit is the gram. The m and µ in front of the g are prefixes. (n.b. µ is the greek letter 'mu').
Profixes tell us to do something to the base unit. In this case, milli means "multiply by one thousandth", and micro means "multiply by one millionth."
Therefore one milligram (mg) is 0.001 grams, and one microgram (µg) is 0.000001 grams.
There are 1,000 micrograms (µG) in one milligram (mg)
