Lungora Safety and Side Effects: What the Label Says
The most important page on this site, organised around two things: what a product sold for breathing has a duty to say, and what this label actually says. The gap between the two is the subject.
Lungora's label carries a full caution block, and its 80 mg of magnesium sits well below the 350 mg upper limit.
Four published interactions are not listed on the bottle, so raise them with a doctor if you take other medicines. No allergen statement is printed.
See who Lungora suits.
If you are taking this for your breathing
This section comes first because it has the most at stake. A product sold as a lung cleanse will be bought by people whose breathing is troubling them, and the guidance that matters is not on the bottle. It is here:
“Evidence does not support using complementary health approaches instead of proven medical management for asthma.”
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health — Asthma and Complementary Health Approaches: What You Need To Know
The same NCCIH page adds two further instructions, quoted in full rather than summarised: “Do not substitute other approaches for treatments recommended or prescribed by your health care provider.” and “If you take medicine for asthma, talk with your provider before starting to take a dietary supplement.”
New or worsening breathing is a clinical matter, not a checkout decision
New or worsening breathlessness, a cough that will not clear, wheeze or chest tightness are each reasons to be seen by a clinician who can examine you. None is a shopping decision. If you have been prescribed anything for your breathing, keep taking it exactly as prescribed and tell the prescriber about any supplement you add.
Note what those quotations are about. Not that supplements are dangerous, and not this product, which no regulator has assessed. They are about substitution. Nothing on this label claims to treat a respiratory condition; this page says it anyway, because a bottle named after an organ will be read by some people as an alternative to an appointment.
The caution block, in full
Quoted as printed, and better than most that reach this desk: “Do not exceed recommended dose. Not for use for those under the age of 18 or pregnant or nursing mothers. Consult with a physician prior to use especially if you are taking a medication or have a medical condition.”

Four exclusions and one instruction, and the instruction is the right one. On a formula where one amount out of six is printed it carries more weight than whoever wrote it may have intended, because a clinician can only check what is on the label.
The one amount that can be assessed
“The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for supplemental magnesium is 350 mg for adults.”
NIH Office of Dietary Supplements — Magnesium — Health Professional Fact Sheet
Eighty milligrams against a limit of 350 is comfortable, and as a magnesium dose this is modest and unobjectionable. The NIH records that high supplemental doses “often result in diarrhea that can be accompanied by nausea and abdominal cramping”, which at 80 mg is unlikely from this capsule alone.
Alone is doing the work. The limit applies to the total from supplements, so a multivitamin, a magnesium tablet and this capsule together can approach it without any single bottle looking excessive. The sum you need is the sum of the labels in your cupboard.
Four interactions the label never mentions
Both bodies publish interactions for ingredients on this panel. Not one appears on the bottle, and three of the four involve medicines in common use.
| Interaction | Ingredient | What the published guidance says | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bisphosphonates | Magnesium | A magnesium-containing supplement taken alongside can reduce absorption. The NIH advises taking them “at least 2 hours before or after”. | Separate them by hours, and tell the prescriber. |
| Some antibiotics | Magnesium | The NIH says these “should be taken at least 2 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after a magnesium-containing supplement”. | Space the doses for the course, or pause and ask. |
| Loop and thiazide diuretics; long-term PPIs | Magnesium | Diuretics “can increase the loss of magnesium in urine”; long-term proton pump inhibitor use can lower magnesium. | Runs the other way from the two above. Raise it with the prescriber. |
| Warfarin and insulin | Coenzyme Q10 | NCCIH records CoQ10 interacting with both, and notes it “may not be compatible with some types of cancer treatment”. | Anyone anticoagulated, on insulin or in cancer treatment should ask first. |
CoQ10 is last of six, so its ceiling is about 1.5 mg and almost certainly too small to matter. But the amount is not printed, the ceiling is derived, and the interaction is published. Take the bottle to the appointment.
The turmeric note, and why it does not bite here
One published note for these ingredients is more serious than the others and needs stating accurately in both directions. NCCIH writes that “highly bioavailable formulations of curcumin… may harm your liver”, and that “liver damage has been reported in some people who have consumed these bioavailable formulations”.
That warning concerns a specific kind of product: curcumin formulated to overcome its poor absorption, typically with piperine or a phospholipid carrier. This is not one of them. The panel names no absorption enhancer, and turmeric is fifth of six, so its ceiling is about 1.9 mg of extract.
So the warning does not bite here, and this page says so rather than leave an alarming quotation hanging. It is printed anyway because many people take turmeric from a second source, and some of those products are high-bioavailability formulations. NCCIH also notes turmeric supplements “may be unsafe” in pregnancy, consistent with this label’s own exclusion.
No allergen statement is printed
The Other Ingredients line reads: Hypromellose (Vegetable Capsule), Microcrystalline Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid, Silicon Dioxide. That is a complete list of five excipients. What does not appear anywhere on the artwork is an allergen statement — no “contains” line, no “free from” line, and nothing about shared equipment.
Nothing on that list is a common allergen, so this is a gap rather than a red flag. Two things follow. Magnesium stearate and stearic acid can be made from vegetable or animal fat and the label does not say which, which is why the vegetarian mark cannot be verified. The dairy-free and gluten-free marks are consistent with the list but untested. See the testing page.
What cannot be said about the other five
Here is the structural point. A safety statement is a statement about a dose, and for five of the six ingredients there is no dose — only a ceiling derived from the printed magnesium figure: 7.5, 3.7, 2.5, 1.9 and 1.5 mg, every one a ceiling rather than an amount.
Those ceilings are useful for judging whether an ingredient is likely to do anything: a substance capped at 1.5 mg will not reproduce a trial that used grams. They are less useful for safety, because a reaction to something you are sensitive to does not need a large dose.
On butcher’s broom there is nothing at all: no fact sheet at either body under that name or under Ruscus aculeatus, so no side-effect profile, no interaction list and no dose ceiling this desk would stand behind. A safety list invented for completeness is worse than an admitted blank.
When to stop and ask
- Any new symptom that starts after you begin. Stop, and speak to a clinician. With one amount out of six printed, neither you nor your doctor can reason about a reaction from the panel.
- Diarrhoea with nausea or cramping. The NIH names these as the usual signs of too much supplemental magnesium.
- Breathing that is new, changed or worsening. See a clinician. Do not stop anything prescribed, and do not treat a supplement as a trial to finish first.
- Before any surgery or procedure, tell the team what you are taking.
- If the safety seal is damaged or missing, do not take a capsule. The label says so, and the order desk listed in the site footer is the place to call.
The general rule covering everything not on that list is the label’s own: consult a physician before use if you take a medication or have a medical condition.
Safety questions
Is Lungora safe?
No one can answer that from this label. The magnesium dose is modest and well within published limits. For the other five ingredients the amounts are not disclosed, so no dose-based statement is possible, and for butcher’s broom neither body publishes anything at all.
Can I take it with my asthma inhaler?
Ask the clinician who prescribed the inhaler, and do not change or stop it. NCCIH says that if you take medicine for asthma you should talk with your provider before starting a dietary supplement.
Can I take it instead of my inhaler?
No. NCCIH states that evidence does not support using complementary health approaches instead of proven medical management for asthma, and that you should not substitute other approaches for treatments your provider has prescribed.
Will it interact with my medication?
Four are published and none is on the label: magnesium with bisphosphonates and with some antibiotics, taken hours apart; diuretics and long-term PPIs, which lower magnesium; CoQ10 with warfarin and insulin.
