What are pounds?
The pound (lb) is a unit of mass in the imperial and US customary systems, historically derived from the Roman libra. Defined as 0.45359237 kilograms, it remains widely used in the United States, United Kingdom, and a few other countries for measuring body weight, food products, and industrial goods. Despite the global adoption of the metric system, the pound persists in everyday life, especially in commerce and health. It is commonly subdivided into 16 ounces (oz) and is used in grocery stores, gyms, and postal services. Its practical application makes it essential in non-metric regions.

What is a milligram?
The milligram (mg) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1,000 of a gram or 1/1,000,000 of a kilogram. It was introduced with the metric system in the late 18th century to provide precise small-scale measurements. The milligram is widely used in medicine, pharmacology, and nutrition, where even slight weight variations can impact effectiveness and safety. It is also essential in chemistry, material science, and food labeling, ensuring accurate ingredient measurements. Unlike larger units, milligrams help measure minuscule amounts, such as the weight of a grain of salt, a dose of medication, or the mass of fine particles in scientific studies.
