Well, bear with me here, 1000 mg is 1/4 tsp? which is about the amount
fitting in a capsule?
Are you talking about Boron Specifically, or weights per spoonful in
general?
Your last statement sounds like you are talking about volume and weights in
general.
It is very hard to say any specific volume is equal to a specific weight
unless you state the material, and it would be good to actually state the
compound.
It is hard to even weigh how much a spoonful weighs unless you weigh 50 to
100 and average them. The dip and the leveling will change the weight a
few units.
Consider this........
1/4 tsp Sea Salt 1360 mg
1/2 tsp Sea Salt 2591 mg
1 tsp Sea Salt 4895 mg
This is salt I ground from course salt. It is ground fine and appears to
have some moisture content.
Vitamin C Powder, Fine, Very Dry
1/4 tsp 1166 mg
1/2 tsp 2721
1 tsp 4730
Notice the larger units are not multiples of the smaller ones in either
case. This is due to variation of dipping, leveling, and consistency or
the material. I did not do a set of averages.
so 30 mg is a very tiny amount.
Yes, usually.
I am not at all sure of my memory here with regard to a gram (1000mg) and
a tsp.
Colostrum is near 2000 mg per tsp. Heaped, it can be 2500.
All I am saying, never bet much, certainly not your health or your life on
a volume to weight ratio unless you have checked it.
Sometimes you can trust the manufacturer of the material, sometimes not.
Most people do not have a accurate scale to measure mg.
If you are going to do anything serious along these lines, consider
investing in an accurate scale.
Then you do not have to guess, hope, wish or wonder.
