Unit Definitions
What is a Milligram (mg)?
A milligram (mg) is a unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a gram.
History
The milligram was introduced in the metric system in the late 18th century, designed to simplify measurements in science and commerce. It has since become a standard unit for measuring small quantities, especially in pharmaceuticals and nutrition.
Current Use
Today, milligrams are widely used in various fields, including health, cooking, and scientific research, where precise measurements of small quantities are essential.
