From Ancient Wisdom to Modern Science: The Copper Advantage

Copper isn’t new - it has been around for thousands of years. The most documented existence of Copper drinkware was from around 600BC in India. This was quickly followed by Egypt, Greece, Rome and the Middle East & Turkey by the turn of the century. 

Long before an understanding of modern science, these populations noticed that water stored in copper tasted fresher and stayed cleaner longer. They noticed that copper drinkware reduced illness and made water “safer”.

This gave copper an aura of being both practical and medicinal. Over time, as science developed there came a stronger understanding of how Copper really benefits us. 

In modern science, agencies like the EPA have run tests to determine Copper’s Antimicrobial Efficacy. Within this test, they show that deadly bacteria which may rest on stainless steel surfaces for weeks or even months doesn’t last more than four hours on Copper surfaces. 

A separate study carried out in India in 2018 found that copper drinkware can indeed purify and remove bacteria from water within four hours. With Copper - not only do you get pure water but you get the benefits of thousands of years of anecdotal evidence from the generations prior. 

However, ensuring you purchase only from a supplier that uses high quality Copper is essential. At CopperCulture we pride ourselves on providing high quality copper. All of our copper bottles contain more than 99% copper, mixed only with Zinc and Magnesium. This has been verified with Third Party Testing carried out in both India and Australia. 

Do exercise caution when buying from suppliers who are not willing to share their purity results. Often this means that their Copper may be mixed in with Lead or other harmful materials which completely erodes the purpose of drinking from a copper product. 

CopperCulture now has over 800 reviews - which attests to our quality and service that we provide to our customers now and ongoing. We pride ourselves on educating the world on the benefits with Copper and be the best place for Copper products online.
