About Milligrams
A milligram (mg) is one thousandth of a gram (10⁻³ g). It is the primary unit for pharmaceutical dosing: aspirin tablets are typically 500 mg, ibuprofen 200-400 mg, and melatonin supplements 0.5-10 mg. Precious metal assay results and alloy compositions are specified in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg = ppm). Nutritional labels worldwide list mineral content in milligrams - the recommended daily intake of iron is 8-18 mg, calcium 1000 mg, and sodium under 2300 mg. A grain of rice weighs about 25-30 mg, and a medium eyelash approximately 0.1 mg.
About Tolas
A tola is a traditional South Asian unit of mass equal to the weight of a silver rupee coin - approximately 11.664 grams. It was the standard unit for weighing gold and silver across India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh for centuries, and remains actively used in gold jewellery markets throughout the subcontinent. Gold is routinely priced and bought in tolas at jewellers' shops (sarrafas) in India and Pakistan. A 10-tola gold bar (116.64 g) is the most popular retail gold bar size in South Asia and the Middle East.
