PureLung Batch Verify: Lot, CoA and How to Spot a Copy
The seller supplied a lot code and a certificate of analysis reference for PureLung, shown below as seller references. We could not check them against any public lab record, so treat them as claims to ask about, not proof. The label on your bottle is the best test: compare name, count, serving size, blend and distributor line by line.

Seller references01
What lot and CoA reference does the seller give?
The seller lists lot P-26/IP-2101 and CoA reference P-2101-26-IP for PureLung. Both are seller references and we have no independent record of either.
A lot code lets a maker trace a batch if a problem appears. A CoA, or certificate of analysis, is a lab document that lists what was tested and the result. The side panel shows a "Third Party Tested" mark, and it names no lab. Without a lab name, a date and a result, a CoA reference cannot be verified. Ask the order desk for the full document, and read it for the lab name, the test methods, the batch and the date.

| Lab name and contact | A real lab with an address |
| Batch or lot | Matches your bottle |
| Tests run | Identity, strength, heavy metals, microbes |
| Date | Within the product's shelf life |
| Result and limits | Numbers, not only the word "pass" |
Your bottle02
How do you check your own bottle?
Compare it with the picture of the label on this site. Do it before you open it, and keep a photo.
- Front: PureLung, "Respiratory Support & Lung Health*", 60 Capsules, Dietary Supplement.
- Panel: serving size 2 capsules, 30 servings, Proprietary Blend 600 mg, eleven names in the same order.
- Inactive: rice flour, magnesium stearate, silica dioxide.
- Distributor: MJO, Sheridan, WY 82801.
- Seal: intact if the bottle has one.
- Lot and date: printed and readable.
If anything is off, stop and contact the order desk by the contact page.
Copies03
How do copies and marketplace listings work?
Copies of supplement bottles are sold on marketplaces, sometimes at low prices. Consumer Reports advises checking the seller, being wary of prices far below the usual, and buying from the brand's own channel where you can (Consumer Reports, Avoiding Counterfeits Online).
We saw a marketplace listing for a two-pack of PureLung at 120 capsules. We could not confirm it, and we do not link to it. A copy might hold different ingredients, an old batch or no lab record. This site's order links go to the authorized seller's checkout, though the seller URL is still being confirmed.
- Check the seller name and return policy.
- Check the label against the one here.
- Check for a safety seal and a readable lot.
- Keep your order email and a photo of the bottle.
Report04
What should you do if something looks wrong?
Stop using it. Keep the bottle and any packaging. Photograph the label and the lot. Write to the order desk with your order ID, and report a safety problem to FDA's MedWatch program (FDA, MedWatch).
FDA says supplement makers are responsible for safety and for following good manufacturing practice, and that FDA does not review supplements before they are sold (FDA, Q&A on Dietary Supplements). That is why your own checks matter. If you feel unwell, call a clinician, and call 911 for severe symptoms.
Why it matters05
Why does batch matter for a blend?
Because the label hides single amounts, a lab report is the only place an amount could show up. A CoA that lists each name and its amount would answer the question the label leaves open. Ask for one.
Without it, you cannot tell whether two bottles hold the same recipe. See the proprietary blend page for the math, and the testing and quality page for what we do and do not verify.

What does a lab actually test in a supplement?
A lab can test whether the right ingredients are present, whether the strength matches the label, and whether the batch holds harmful things such as heavy metals, microbes or unlisted drugs. Each test is separate. A report that lists only one kind says nothing about the others.
Three terms help. Identity means the named ingredient is truly that plant or compound. Potency means the amount matches the label. Purity means the batch is free of contaminants. A blend makes potency hard to judge because the label gives no per-name amount to compare with. That is why asking for a full CoA is more useful here than for a label with clear lines.
FDA says firms must follow good manufacturing practice and that the firm must have evidence a claim is truthful (FDA, Q&A on Dietary Supplements). It does not test each batch before sale. A report from an independent lab you can look up is one of the few checks open to a buyer.
Lot codes07
How should you read a seller reference like a lot code?
A lot code such as the one the seller lists is a label for a production batch. It should be printed on your bottle, usually on the base or the back, with an expiry or best-by date. A code on a web page is not a code on a bottle.
Check three things. The code on your bottle should match the format the seller gives. The date should be in the future. And the code should be the same on every bottle in a multi-bottle pack, unless the seller says a pack mixes batches. If the code on your bottle looks different or is missing, write to the order desk with a photo.
- Photograph the base and the back of each bottle.
- Keep the packing slip and order email.
- Note the date you opened the bottle.
Condition08
What about expiry, storage and a damaged seal?
Check the date before you open the bottle and check the seal. A bottle that arrives warm, damp, dented or with a broken seal should be set aside. Take a photo and contact the order desk the same day.
Heat and moisture can degrade powders, and capsules can stick together or soften. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place with the lid closed. The label we have shows a storage line that is cut off, so read yours. Keep it out of reach of children, as the side panel says. If you share a household with young children or pets, a high shelf with a child-resistant lid is a basic step.
- Do not use a bottle with a broken seal or a bad smell.
- Do not decant capsules into pill boxes for months; keep the original bottle for the lot and date.
- Do keep the bottle until you finish it, and a photo after.
Stakes09
Why does a copy matter for a lung product?
Because people who use lung products often have conditions and take medicines. An unlisted ingredient or a wrong amount can matter more for them than for someone else. FDA warns that some supplements sold for other purposes have been found with hidden drugs, and the only safe habit is to buy from sources you can trace.
Tracing is simple: keep the order email, the packing slip, a photo of the label and the lot. If you ever need to report a problem, those four items are what a clinician, the seller and FDA will ask for first. A few minutes of record keeping when the box arrives can save days of trouble later.

PureLung questions people ask
What is a CoA?
A certificate of analysis, a lab document that shows what was tested in a batch and the results.
Is the PureLung lot number real?
It is a seller reference. We could not check it independently.

Compare the label line by line and buy from the authorized seller's checkout.
