Why copper?

Although these bottles have gained popularity recently, copper in this type of container is not something new. You have to go back several centuries to find the origin of its use. Various cultures, over the years, have attributed benefits to the body, which is why they have used copper to store water.

From a scientific perspective, there are studies that support its antimicrobial capacity. This means that this metal can help reduce the presence of bacteria and other microorganisms, which helps keep the water in better condition.
