mg/kg is a really weird unit to use without saying how many kg were consumed.

When used in contexts like this, it's mg of substance per kilogram of body weight. (with the assumption that the effect on metabolism etc somewhat scales with body weight, at least for people that are otherwise similar)

It's usually a unit of mg consumed per kg of body weight. (Hopefully 0 kg of which are being consumed.)
