For centuries, It has been used to create everything from tools and cookware to coins and jewelry. Its conductivity makes it especially valuable, and its warm glow is unique among metals.
Copper also benefits the body — in more ways than one.

“Copper is a mineral that you need to stay healthy. Your body uses copper to carry out many important functions, including making energy, connective tissue, and blood vessels. Copper also helps maintain the nervous and immune systems and activates genes. Your body also needs copper for brain development.” - National Institutes of Health (NIH) Copper is an oligodynamic metal, meaning it contains charged molecules that can destroy bacterial cells, fungi, spores, and viruses. This gives it the power to disinfect and purify water.When water is stored in a copper vessel for several hours, copper ions are released. By consuming copper water, we can introduce its healing properties into our bodies. Benefits of Copper:
- Assists with digestion, detoxifying and cleansing the stomach and gut
- Anti-inflammatory (relieves arthritis)
- Induces red blood cell production, strengthens nerve cells
- Reduces free radicals in the body that damage cells and cause illness
- Helps the body absorb iron
- Contains anti-microbial and anti-viral properties to strengthen immunity

- Fill copper bottle and store in a cool place for 8 hours before drinking (do not refrigerate the bottle)
- The best time to drink copper-stored water is in the morning on an empty stomach.
- Moderate your consumption. Drinking water from a copper bottle once or twice a day is sufficient — more than that may be too much.
- Take breaks in between drinking water from a copper vessel to allow the body to flush out excess copper (ie., two months on, one month off.)
