The Proprietary Blend: Why Five Hidden Amounts Matter
The verdict in one line
A blend hides whether five ingredients are doses or decoration — and complicates safety. Our score: 3.0 / 5.
This is a label-desk piece rather than a product description: the question first, the direct answer second, and the ingredient facts underneath.
What Lungora is
Lungora is a once-daily dietary supplement sold as a "Cardiovascular Support Formula" — 30 capsules a bottle, taken once daily, a 30-day supply. Six ingredients are named on the label and only the magnesium (80 mg) has a disclosed amount. It is sold on the Lungora from $49 to $89 a bottle. It is not a medicine, and it is not a substitute for having a breathing symptom assessed by a doctor.
What a blend conceals, and why it counts here
One competing page states plainly that Lungora's alpha lipoic acid sits inside a “proprietary blend”, and only the magnesium (80 mg) is quantified. A proprietary blend lists ingredients under one combined weight, so you can see what is present but not how much of each.
That matters more than it sounds. For ingredients whose studied intakes run from hundreds to thousands of milligrams — turmeric, L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid — a hidden amount could be a meaningful dose or a token sprinkle, and the label gives you no way to tell. It also makes the safety cautions harder to judge: you cannot assess a butcher's broom blood-pressure risk or an ALA blood-sugar risk without knowing the amount. A disclosed panel would resolve all of this, and its absence is a choice.

| Ingredient | Amount on label | Research context |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium Glycinate | 80 mg magnesium | 310–420 mg/day RDA for adults |
| Alpha Lipoic Acid | undisclosed | 300–600 mg/day in most human studies |
| Butcher's Broom Root | undisclosed | Studied for venous circulation, not respiratory function |
| L-Carnitine | undisclosed | 500–2,000 mg/day in most human studies |
| Plus turmeric (95% curcuminoids) and CoQ10, both at undisclosed amounts. Only the magnesium is quantified. | ||
The pattern is consistent. Every amount is printed, four nutrient forms were chosen the better way, and two lines — choline at 0.04 mg and inositol at 40 mcg — are present in amounts that round to nothing. Full breakdown: the Lungora ingredient analysis.
Pros and cons
What works
- All thirteen amounts printed with %DV — no proprietary blend
- B12 as methylcobalamin, zinc as citrate, vitamin E as natural d-alpha
- Folate printed with its correct DFE conversion
- Boron included — a specified-dose study behind it
- Pectin base rather than gelatin, and a taste people actually keep up with
What does not
- No Supplement Facts panel published anywhere
- Choline 0.04 mg, printed by the label itself as 0% DV
- Inositol 40 mcg against 2–4 g in human studies
- Saw palmetto at 1/16th of its researched amount
- No lung-specific active on the label
Who it suits — and who should skip it
Worth considering for adults over 50 who want a simple daily antioxidant and magnesium top-up. Not worth it for anyone buying it specifically for their lungs — nothing on the label acts on them, or anyone with a breathing symptom, who needs a doctor rather than a supplement.
The fact that frames all of this: none of Lungora's six ingredients — magnesium, alpha lipoic acid, butcher's broom, L-carnitine, turmeric, CoQ10 — is a recognised respiratory active. The lung actives (NAC, mullein, quercetin, vitamin C, bromelain) are all absent.
Read the seller's own “how it works” copy and it names four pathways — antioxidant, circulation, cellular energy, nerve and muscle function. A direct lung action is named nowhere, which is the tell.
Verdict
A blend hides whether five ingredients are doses or decoration — and complicates safety. Practically: ask the seller for a photograph of the Supplement Facts panel and for the five undisclosed amounts before ordering, tell a pharmacist what medication you take, get any breathing symptom checked by a doctor, start with three bottles rather than six, and diarise your refund decision for day 50.

Questions readers ask
Is Lungora worth buying in 2026?
It is worth considering only if the seller will show you a Supplement Facts panel and disclose the five hidden amounts. Without those, you are buying six names and only one dose.
How long should I take Lungora before judging it?
Both selling pages say the full effect compounds over 90 days or more, while offering a 60-day guarantee. Plan on 8 to 12 weeks and decide by day 50.
How long is the Lungora guarantee?
The offer pages state 60 days from the date of purchase. A badge supplied with the product artwork says 180 days, which does not match. Screenshot the written terms on the order form before you pay and diarise day 50.
