About Milligram (mg)
A metric unit of mass equal to exactly 0.001 g = 10⁻⁶ kg = 10⁻³ g. The milligram is the standard unit for pharmaceutical dosing per FDA + EMA + ICH guidelines + USP <795> (typical tablet contents 50-1000 mg active pharmaceutical ingredient; aspirin 81 mg or 325 mg; ibuprofen 200/400/600 mg; acetaminophen 325/500 mg; amoxicillin 250/500 mg; metformin 500/850/1000 mg; ranitidine 75/150 mg; warfarin 1/2.5/5 mg), vitamin and supplement labeling per FDA 21 CFR 101.36 + 21 CFR 101.9 + EFSA NRV (vitamin C 60-1000 mg/day; calcium 1000-1200 mg/day; iron 8-18 mg/day; magnesium 310-420 mg/day; zinc 8-11 mg/day), trace analytical chemistry, nutritional micronutrient values (sodium content quoted in mg per serving; daily limit 2,300 mg per FDA 2020 Dietary Guidelines; caffeine in coffee ~95 mg per 8 oz cup), environmental pollutant concentrations (drinking-water mg/L = ppm; EPA MCLs in mg/L for lead 0.015, arsenic 0.010, copper 1.3), and air-quality regulations per EPA NAAQS (CO 9 ppm 8-hr = 10 mg/m³). Convert mg to grains by multiplying by 0.01543; to grams by multiplying by 0.001.
About Ounce (oz)
An imperial unit of mass equal to exactly 1/16 of an avoirdupois pound = 28.349523125 g per NIST SP 811. The avoirdupois ounce is the everyday US small-mass unit for: food portion sizes per FDA 21 CFR 101.9 + USDA Food Patterns (typical protein serving 3 oz cooked meat; 1 oz cheese; 1 oz nuts; 8 oz cup of liquid; lean meat lean 3-4 oz recommended per meal), American cookbook ingredient measurements (1 tablespoon = 0.5 fl oz volume but the 'oz' in 'oz of flour' is mass = 28.35 g), boxing glove weights per Boxing Association rules (typical 8-10 oz pro-boxing; 12-16 oz training-bag), postal rates per USPS (Domestic First-Class up to 13 oz, then Priority Mail rates; international First-Class up to 4 lb in oz increments), and chocolate-bar + nut + cereal-product labeling. Reference values: 1 stick of US butter = 4 oz = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons; an Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max ~7.8 oz; a US baseball regulation 5-5¼ oz per MLB rule 3.01. CRITICAL: distinct from troy ounce (~31.103 g, used exclusively for precious metals — 1 troy oz Au differs from 1 avoirdupois oz Au by ~10%, a common confusion when comparing gold quotes to grocery scales). Convert avoirdupois oz to grams by multiplying by 28.349; to troy oz by dividing by 1.097.
