Lungora batch and certificate references
This page is a script. Two questions, asked of the order desk, would settle more about this product than everything else on this site put together — and both can be asked before a single capsule is bought.
Question one: which magnesium glycinate is used — the pure chelate or a buffered one — and what is its elemental magnesium content? That single answer either confirms the arithmetic on this site or replaces it with better figures. Question two: may I have the Certificate of Analysis? The reference supplied is LUN-8072-26-LU; the document itself was not, and a certificate reports quantities ingredient by ingredient.
The one question worth asking
Every figure on this site that is not printed on the bottle rests on one chemical constant, and that constant rests on one assumption the label does not confirm.
Magnesium glycinate is C₄H₈MgN₂O₄, molecular weight about 172.4, of which the magnesium atom contributes 24.3 — about 14.1% by weight. Delivering the declared 80 mg of elemental magnesium therefore needs about 567 mg of the compound, out of a blend declared at 575 mg. Roughly 8 mg is left for the other five ingredients combined.
The assumption, stated plainly so it can be attacked
That 14.1% is the figure for the pure anhydrous chelate. Some commercial magnesium glycinate is buffered — blended with magnesium oxide, which is common and entirely legitimate — and buffering raises the elemental percentage, which lowers the weight of compound needed and leaves more of the blend for everything else. This label does not say which is used. So the question to ask is exactly this: which magnesium glycinate is in this product, and what is its elemental magnesium content?
Any formulator can answer that in a sentence, because it is a specification they buy against. The answer either confirms every figure on this site or replaces them with better ones, and if better ones arrive, the sums here will be redone and the change dated.
What the answer would change
Here is the whole plausible range, worked through, so a reader can see in advance how much any answer would move and how much it would not.
| If the magnesium ingredient is… | …because | Weight needed for 80 mg | Left for the other five | Magnesium ingredient as % of the blend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14.1% | the figure the formula C₄H₈MgN₂O₄ gives | about 567 mg | about 8 mg | 99% |
| 15% | a slightly impure or partly hydrated chelate | about 533 mg | about 42 mg | 93% |
| 16% | a lightly buffered chelate | about 500 mg | about 75 mg | 87% |
| 18% | a buffered chelate | about 444 mg | about 131 mg | 77% |
| 20% | a heavily buffered chelate, the top of the plausible range | about 400 mg | about 175 mg | 70% |
Read the last column. Across the entire range — from the pure chelate to a heavily buffered one at the top of what is plausible — the magnesium ingredient is between 70% and 99% of the blend by weight. The severity of the finding moves. The finding does not.
That is why the question is worth asking rather than being treated as fatal to the analysis. Even the most favourable answer available leaves the other five ingredients sharing under a third of the blend, and at that end of the range the turmeric ceiling would still be well under any dose in the literature NCCIH summarises. The same table, with the working above it, is on the label page.
The second question: the certificate
A Certificate of Analysis is a laboratory document issued for a specific batch. It is the ordinary way a supplement buyer moves from what a label says to what a bottle contains, and it is the second thing worth asking for.
The reference supplied with this product is LUN-8072-26-LU. The document itself was not supplied, so what this site holds is a reference and nothing more. It is printed here as a draft reference, not as laboratory proof — a string of characters that may or may not correspond to a document held elsewhere.
| What a Certificate of Analysis reports | What the label prints |
|---|---|
| The quantity of each named ingredient, separately | One quantity — magnesium, 80 mg — and a 575 mg blend total |
| Identity testing for each botanical | Species and plant part printed; no test statement |
| A standardisation figure against a measured assay | 95% curcuminoids for the turmeric, unverified |
| Heavy metals, microbiology and contaminant results | Nothing published |
| The batch the results belong to | A lot reference, supplied without a document |
| The laboratory that ran the tests, and the date | Not named anywhere |
The left column is what would convert five derived ceilings into five declared amounts. Nothing else available to a buyer does that. The ceilings and how they are derived are set out on the ingredients page, and every one of them is a ceiling rather than an amount until a certificate says otherwise.
What we have, and what it is
| Detail | What we were actually given |
|---|---|
| Lot reference | LUN-26/LU-8072 — a draft reference, not verified |
| Certificate reference | LUN-8072-26-LU — a draft reference, no document supplied |
| Certificate document | Not supplied |
| Testing laboratory | Not named |
| Best-before date | not legible on the images supplied |
| Print code on the label edge | ENB_434_01_062326 — a production code for the label file |
| Manufacturer | Not named |
| Country of manufacture | Not printed. No country of manufacture appears on the label artwork supplied. |
| Marks printed on the label artwork | None of the eleven supplied |
Two references, no documents. That is the honest position, and it is why both are printed as draft references throughout this site rather than as evidence. A reference is a pointer; a certificate is a result. Publishing the first as though it were the second is precisely the error this desk exists to avoid.
Why a reference is not a result
It is worth being precise about what the two strings above are, because they look like evidence and they are not.
A lot number identifies a production run. It says that a batch exists and can be referred to; it says nothing whatever about what was in it. A certificate reference identifies a document. It says that a document is expected to exist somewhere, under that name. Neither carries a single test result, and a reference printed without its document is a pointer to a room nobody has opened.
That matters here more than on most products, because the images supplied do not let either reference be confirmed: no photograph legible enough to read a lot stamp, no legible best-before date, and misprinted text on every bottle render. So both are published as draft references, for a buyer to compare against the bottle in front of them.
That is also why this site will not describe this product as tested, verified or certified anywhere. Those words describe results. What exists here is two strings and eleven marks, none of which is about the contents of the capsule.
The call, word for word
Ring the order desk. The whole thing takes a few minutes and the order desk is the right party to ask.
- “Which magnesium glycinate does this product use — the pure chelate, or a buffered one? And what is its elemental magnesium content as a percentage?”
- “Can you send me the Certificate of Analysis for the batch I would be receiving? The reference I have is LUN-8072-26-LU.”
- “Does the certificate report each blend ingredient separately, with a quantity?”
- “Which laboratory ran it, and on what date?”
- “Where is the product manufactured, and which body certifies the GMP mark?”
- “Are the magnesium stearate and stearic acid plant- or animal-derived?” — this is what the vegetarian mark turns on, and it cannot be checked from the panel.
- “If I open a bottle and decide against it, do I get a refund, and who pays the return postage?”
Write down the answers, the date and the name of the person who gave them, then confirm the substance by email to the order desk and copy yourself. A dated written record is worth more later than a clear memory.
If a certificate arrives with quantities in it, this site would genuinely like to see it. The website inbox in the site footer is the editorial address, the arithmetic on these pages will be redone against it, and the change will be dated.
Checking the bottle you were sent
- The lot number on the base. Compare it with the reference above. A mismatch is not necessarily a problem — ours is a draft reference — but it is worth a call.
- The best-before date. None was legible on any image supplied, so the stamp on your bottle is the only authority.
- The Supplement Facts panel. It should read Magnesium 80 mg at 19% and Proprietary Blend 575 mg over six named ingredients. Different figures mean the arithmetic on this site does not describe what you have.
- The printed text. Every bottle photograph supplied with this product carries misprinted label text — “GAPEULES” and “BIETART SUPMLENDIT”. Check that yours is spelled correctly, and photograph it if not.
- The safety seal. The label makes an intact seal a condition of use, not a suggestion.
None of those checks requires any expertise, and all five are easier to raise on the day the parcel arrives than a fortnight later. The shipping page has the same list as a doorstep routine.
Questions about verification
What is the Lungora lot number?
The reference supplied is LUN-26/LU-8072, and the certificate reference is LUN-8072-26-LU. Both are published here as draft references. Neither is a verified batch record and no certificate document was supplied.
Can I see a Certificate of Analysis?
Not on this site, because none was supplied. Ask the order desk for the certificate covering the batch you would receive; a certificate reports quantities ingredient by ingredient.
Why does the magnesium glycinate question matter so much?
Because the whole mass balance turns on the elemental magnesium content of the compound used. At 14.1% the blend is about 99% magnesium ingredient; at 20% it is about 70%. The finding survives either way, but the severity does not.
Is the product tested?
No test result or testing laboratory was named anywhere in the material supplied. The GMP mark is a process standard for the factory and names no certifying body; the FDA-registered-facility mark is an administrative registration and gives no number.
What if the answers contradict this site?
Then this site is wrong and will say so. Send the documents to the website inbox. The arithmetic will be redone against them and the change dated.
Read the magnesium row before you decide
Thirty capsules, one a day. One amount is printed on this label — 80 mg of magnesium — and it is the amount that tells you what is left of the 575 mg blend for the other five ingredients. The live price and the 60-day return terms are both on the seller’s checkout screen.
