About Milligrams and Stones
Milligrams (mg): One thousandth of a gram, used since the metric system was formalized in France in 1799. Common uses: Pharmaceutical dosing (drug tablets, vitamins, supplements), nutrition labels for small quantities, and chemistry.
Stones (st): A British unit equal to 14 pounds (about 6.35 kg), originally for trade in raw materials by the stone (literally — large stones used for trade weights). Common uses: British body weight in casual conversation ('I weigh 11 stone 4'), still widely used in the UK and Ireland; not used in the US and rarely in other countries.
