Additional Nutrition

[Fabulator]

Hi,

I am trying import my own food database through Fibit API to my Account, but I have problem with units of Additional Nutrition. Common are ok, units are described in food detail page, but Vitamins and Dietary minerals are presented as "Percent Daily Values" and in API are unit specified as "mg or µg".

I dont know if for example, vitaminD is in mg or µg. I can convert my data to every single unit you want, but I dont which unit.

I see a problem with oranges. Vitamin A is shown as 300 mg. It should be 300 mcg. Or in your notation 300 ug. 

Thanks Gary
