hey so i've been using ssa hmg for a bit now and i saw their janoshik report showing 7.5mcg. the thing is i realized it's actually super confusing trying to convert hmg from iu to mcg or vice versa. i saw another test from qsc hmg last year that was like 214mcg which is a massive difference... i actually reached out to janoshik about it and he told me he can't translate the mcg result into iu without getting specific data from the factory first
does anyone actually know how this works? i feel like im just guessing at this point and its kinda annoying since i want to know exactly what im pinning. if anyone has a way to convert these or knows why there such a huge gap between these reports let me know
yeah it’s super confusing, HMG conversions are all over the place. IU vs mcg isn’t straightforward without the exact bioactivity info
that’s wild, 7.5 vs 214mcg is basically apples vs oranges unless you know the assay they used
honestly most people just stick to IU since it’s the standard dosing everyone references, makes life way easier
reaching out to the company was smart, sometimes there’s just no way to convert without their raw data
