PureLung Side Effects: Cautions for Each of the Eleven Names
No study of PureLung lists its side effects, so the safest guide is the known cautions for each name. Ginkgo may raise bleeding risk. Green tea extract has been linked with rare liver injury. Cassia cinnamon contains coumarin. Very high vitamin B6 can harm nerves. Stop and call a clinician for a rash, swelling, severe stomach pain, yellow skin or trouble breathing.

Overview01
What side effects can PureLung cause?
No one knows the full list, because the capsule has not been studied as a product. What we have is the safety record of each name by itself, at doses that may be higher or lower than those in the blend.
Common mild effects reported for the names include stomach upset, nausea, headache and dizziness (NCCIH, Ginkgo). Rare but serious effects include bleeding changes, liver injury and nerve damage at very high vitamin B6 intakes. The table gives the main caution per name in the order the label lists them.
| No. | Name | Main caution |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Himalayan pink salt | Carries sodium; no sodium line is printed, so low-sodium plans cannot tell how much (Cleveland Clinic, Sea, Kosher and Pink Salt) |
| 2 | Cinnamon extract | Cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, a liver concern in large amounts (NCCIH, Cinnamon) |
| 3 | AGP choline | Too much choline can cause fishy odor, sweating and low blood pressure (NIH ODS, Choline) |
| 4 | Bacopa monnieri | Nausea, stomach upset, headache; liver data are limited (LiverTox, Bacopa monnieri) |
| 5 | Lutein | Safe from food; ask before supplements (MSK, Lutein) |
| 6 | Bilberry leaf powder | Thin evidence for the leaf; ask if on blood thinners or diabetes medicine (MSK, Bilberry Fruit) |
| 7 | Vitamin B6 | Over about 100 mg a day long term can injure nerves (NIH ODS, Vitamin B6) |
| 8 | Ginkgo biloba powder | Bleeding and seizure cautions (MSK, Ginkgo) |
| 9 | Vitamin B12 | Absorption lowered by acid reducers and metformin (NIH ODS, Vitamin B12) |
| 10 | Zeaxanthin | Food sources are safe; the amount in the blend is not printed (MSK, Lutein) |
| 11 | Green tea extract | Rare liver injury, plus caffeine (NCCIH, Green Tea) |
Top cautions02
Which cautions matter most?
Four stand out because they can be serious. They are bleeding, the liver, nerves, and interactions with medicines.
- Bleeding: ginkgo may increase bleeding risk with blood thinners such as warfarin, and the effect on surgery is a reason to tell your surgeon (MSK, Ginkgo).
- Liver: green tea extract supplements have been linked with rare liver injury (NCCIH, Green Tea), and cassia cinnamon has coumarin (NCCIH, Cinnamon).
- Nerves: vitamin B6 over about 100 mg a day long term can injure nerves; the label does not print the B6 amount (NIH ODS, Vitamin B6).
- Medicines: acid reducers and metformin can lower B12 absorption (NIH ODS, Vitamin B12), and the NIH says supplements can interact with medicines (NIH ODS, Dietary Supplements: What You Need To Know).
Stop signs03
What are the warning signs to stop and call?
Stop the capsules and call a clinician if you notice any of these after starting.
- Call 911, do not driveBreathing trouble that comes on suddenly or stops you talking, or someone who stops breathing. MedlinePlus: go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number such as 911.
- Blue or gray lips or faceA sign of too little oxygen. Call 911.
- Chest pain, pressure or tightness that will not easeCall 911. Do not wait for a supplement or a rescue inhaler to settle it if it is severe.
- Trouble speaking in full sentencesNeeds emergency care when it comes on fast or is severe.
- A flare-up that your plan does not controlFor asthma or COPD, follow your action plan, use your prescribed rescue medicine, and call your clinician or 911 if it does not work.
- Hives, a swollen face or wheezing after a capsulePossible allergy to an ingredient. Stop and get help; call 911 if breathing is hard.
Signs drawn from MedlinePlus (MedlinePlus, Breathing Difficulty), NHLBI (NHLBI, COPD Living With) and CDC (CDC, About Asthma). This list is not complete, and a supplement is never a reason to wait.
For severe trouble breathing, chest pain, swelling of the face or throat, fainting or confusion, call 911 (MedlinePlus, Breathing Difficulty). FDA's MedWatch program takes reports of side effects from supplements, and you can use it even if you are not sure the supplement caused the problem (FDA, MedWatch).
Breathing04
Does the blend have any effect on breathing?
None is listed. No label line or study says PureLung affects breathing for better or worse. Even so, any new symptom, including a cough or wheeze, deserves a call. It may or may not be linked to the capsule, but a clinician can sort that out.
If you have asthma, new wheeze or chest tightness after starting anything new needs attention, and signs such as needing your reliever more often mean your control may be slipping (NHLBI, Asthma Symptoms). Do not wait to see whether it passes.

People on several medicines, people with liver or kidney problems, people with a bleeding disorder, those preparing for surgery, and those who are pregnant or nursing. Older adults also tend to be more sensitive to supplement effects.
| Group | Main concern |
|---|---|
| Blood thinner users | Ginkgo and bleeding |
| Liver or kidney disease | Green tea extract, cassia cinnamon |
| Seizure history | Ginkgo may raise seizure risk (MSK, Ginkgo) |
| Low-sodium plan | Pink Himalayan salt carries sodium; the amount is not printed |
| Pregnant or nursing | Not tested; ask first (NCCIH, Using Dietary Supplements Wisely) |
Tracking06
How should you track side effects if you try it?
Keep a short note. Write the start date, the number of capsules and anything you notice each day: stomach, sleep, headache, skin, mood, breathing. A note gives a clinician real information, and it keeps you from guessing about cause.
Change only one thing at a time. If you start PureLung the same week you start a new medicine or a new routine, you cannot tell which did what. If a symptom appears, stop the capsules and call a clinician before restarting. Keep the bottle and the lot number, and report serious reactions to MedWatch (FDA, MedWatch). The results timeline page has a simple note template.
- Day 1 to 3: watch the stomach, since upset is the most common early effect.
- Week 1 to 2: watch for rash, headache, sleep change and any new cough.
- Any time: yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, severe stomach pain or unusual bruising means stop and call at once.
