A microgram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-millionth of a gram.
History
The microgram is part of the metric system, a decimal-based system of measurement devised in France in the late 18th century. It is commonly used in scientific and medical fields to measure small quantities.
Current Use
Micrograms are frequently used in laboratory settings, pharmaceuticals, and nutrition labels to express the weight of vitamins and minerals in dietary supplements.
