can someone tell me what the conversion would be for 6.6 KIU/kg into IU? the vitamin D3 tablet I have is 2000 IU (50 mcg) how much of that tablet would be 6.6 KIU/kg?
 
Why worry about KIU, but just give the amount of IU required? What source are you reading? The articles I just read have dosage all over the place.
 
it just gives it in KIU I don't know if it's equal
