Lungora Questions and Answers

A capsule dietary supplement sold as a “LUNG CLEANSE FORMULA”. Thirty capsules a bottle, one a day, so a bottle is thirty days. The front panel adds that it supports respiratory health and promotes natural lung detoxification. Every claim carries its asterisk and the FDA disclaimer is printed in full. It is distributed for lungora, Aurora, CO 80011.

Two rows. Magnesium (as Magnesium Glycinate from proprietary blend) — 80 mg, 19% of the Daily Value; and a Proprietary Blend of 575 mg naming magnesium glycinate, alpha lipoic acid, butcher’s broom root extract, L-carnitine, turmeric rhizome extract at 95% curcuminoids, and coenzyme Q10. Only the magnesium carries an amount.

Yes, and it is worth saying so. The FDA’s Daily Value for magnesium is 420 mg, and 80 divided by 420 is 19% exactly as printed. Eighty milligrams also sits well below the NIH’s Tolerable Upper Intake Level for supplemental magnesium, which is 350 mg a day for adults.

It is allowed, and this label follows the rule exactly. The FDA requires a blend’s total weight on the same line as its name and its ingredients listed underneath “in descending order of predominance by weight”. Individual weights are required only for ingredients with an established Daily Value — which is precisely why the magnesium is itemised and the rest are not.

Because the magnesium row gives it away. It declares 80 mg of elemental magnesium, as magnesium glycinate, from inside the blend. Magnesium is about 14.1% of magnesium glycinate by weight, so 80 mg of it needs roughly 567 mg of the compound — out of a blend of 575 mg. About 8 mg is left for the other five combined.

Dividing that remainder in the printed descending order gives alpha lipoic acid at most 7.5 mg, butcher’s broom at most 3.7 mg, L-carnitine at most 2.5 mg, turmeric extract at most 1.9 mg and coenzyme Q10 at most 1.5 mg. The full working is on the label page.

A ceiling is an upper limit forced by the label. “At most 1.9 mg” is a true statement about this panel; “1.9 mg” would be an invention. The real figures are at or below their ceilings and could be far lower. This site never prints a ceiling as though it were an amount, and nobody quoting per-ingredient figures for this blend is reading the label.

It would change the severity and not the direction. The 14.1% figure is what the formula gives for the pure anhydrous chelate. A buffered chelate — glycinate blended with magnesium oxide — raises the elemental percentage and lowers the weight needed, and the label does not say which is used. Across the whole plausible range the magnesium ingredient is still 70% to 99% of the blend.

No. Searching the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and NCCIH under the names printed on this panel returns no lung, breathing or asthma indication for magnesium, alpha lipoic acid, L-carnitine, turmeric or coenzyme Q10 — and no monograph at all for butcher’s broom. Six ingredients, zero respiratory files, on a product called a Lung Cleanse Formula.

Nothing published supports that, and NCCIH addresses the category directly: “a 2015 review concluded that there was no compelling research to support the use of ‘detox’ diets for weight management or eliminating toxins from the body”. It adds that some cleansing programmes “can be unsafe and falsely advertised”. No ingredient here is described anywhere as acting on lung clearance.

No. NCCIH is unambiguous: “Evidence does not support using complementary health approaches instead of proven medical management for asthma”, and “do not substitute other approaches for treatments recommended or prescribed by your health care provider”. Keep taking everything you have been prescribed, exactly as prescribed, and raise any supplement with the clinician who prescribed it. New or worsening breathlessness is a reason to see a clinician, not a reason to buy a capsule.

Three mechanisms, all continuous and none of them needing prompting. The mucociliary escalator — cilia beating in a wave, carrying a mucus layer and whatever is trapped in it up and out. Alveolar macrophages, immune cells that engulf what reaches the air sacs. And the cough reflex. Nothing supplied with this product mentions any of them.

Not published. No price list, no pack list and no figures were supplied with this product. The seller pack routes pricing to the checkout screen, so the live figure appears there and nowhere on this site. This desk will not estimate one.

“As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule daily.” That is the whole instruction, and it is complete. Thirty capsules at one a day is thirty days, so a bottle is a calendar month.

Neither is stated. Two published notes lean gently toward food: magnesium can upset the stomach at higher doses, and coenzyme Q10 is fat-soluble and better absorbed with a meal containing fat. Neither is decisive at these amounts. On time of day nothing published favours either, so choose the one you will actually keep to.

No. The label says “do not exceed recommended dose”. On this formula the capsule count is the only quantity you control, and doubling it doubles the one ingredient whose amount is known: 80 mg of magnesium becomes 160 mg, against an upper limit of 350 mg a day from supplements.

Take the next capsule at the next normal time. No catch-up instruction is published anywhere, and doubling up moves the magnesium toward its upper limit rather than away from it. A bottle simply lasts a day longer.

Ask your prescriber or pharmacist, and be aware of two things. The label mentions no interactions, but the NIH records magnesium interacting with bisphosphonates and some antibiotics — both to be taken hours apart from it — and NCCIH records coenzyme Q10 interacting with warfarin and insulin. And your clinician can only check what is printed, which here is one amount out of six.

None is published for this formula. At the ingredient level the NIH records that high doses of supplemental magnesium “often result in diarrhea that can be accompanied by nausea and abdominal cramping”, which is unlikely at 80 mg. NCCIH reports no serious side effects for CoQ10. The safety page goes through each ingredient.

The gluten-free and dairy-free marks are consistent with the panel. The vegetarian mark cannot be checked from this label. The Other Ingredients line includes magnesium stearate and stearic acid, either of which can be made from vegetable or animal fat, and the source is not stated. No allergen statement is printed at all, so a buyer has to ask.

Not printed. No country of manufacture appears on the label artwork supplied. A “made in USA” roundel was supplied, but its ring reads MANUFACTURE IN at the top and MANUFACTURE IN again at the bottom — a sentence that never finishes — so it is not published here as evidence of anything.

Eleven marks were supplied. Not one of them is printed on the label artwork itself, and none names a certifying body or a registration number. A GMP mark describes factory procedure rather than contents; an FDA-registered-facility mark is an administrative listing, not an inspection or an approval. Each mark is set out with what it does and does not evidence.

A DOCTOR FORMULATED emblem was supplied with the marketing. It names no doctor, no credential and no registration number, and it is not printed on the label. This site does not publish a practitioner endorsement without a practitioner and does not invent one, so the emblem does not appear anywhere here.

Because the document that supplied them withdraws them. The seller pack provided a rating, a review count, an order count and eight named customers, and then stated in its own closing block that “reviews, star scores, and order counts in this pack are layout copy only”. This site publishes no rating, no review count and no testimonials.

60 days from purchase, unless the sales page prints a longer window, in which case the sales page governs. Call or email the order desk for a return reference, post to 245 Park Avenue, Floor 24, New York, NY 10167, USA with your name, checkout email and order ID, use a tracked service and keep the receipt. The refund is issued three to five business days after the return is credited, then five to ten days to reach the card.

Both are draft references supplied with the product pack: lot LUN-26/LU-8072 and certificate LUN-8072-26-LU. No certificate document and no laboratory letter reached this desk, so neither is treated as proof. The code on the bottle in your hand is the one that matters, and it will not necessarily match.
