Description
Various cultures have long used violet glass containers for their preservative qualities. Furthering this knowledge using the modern science of biophotonics, Miron violet glass was created.
Findings have shown that the effects of the sun’s rays accelerate the molecular decaying process. Miron violet glass works as a natural filter to let in only those rays that lengthen durability and potency.
How Does It Work?
Miron violet glass blocks the complete spectrum of visible light with the exception of the violet range. At the same time, it allows a certain segment to be permeable for radiation in the spectral range of UV-A and infra-red light. This unique combination offers optimal protection against the aging and deterioration process typically accelerated by visible light.
Color
Our Miron bottles are not just colored glass but an ancient technology in food preservation that was developed in Germany/Austria 200 years ago. Miron glass has special qualities, one of which is the very darkness of the glass, which helps to protect from UV damage. These bottles look almost black unless held up to light, when you can see that they are actually a very deep purple. For the record, Miron glass is much more than UV protective … which is why it’s not just black glass.
Regular colored glass, such as the often-used blue or violet, creates a cooling effect but doesn’t protect as Miron does.
Testing
As part of biophotonic studies done by the German Federal Government in 2001, several tests were run using Miron violet glass. In one, it was concluded that honey stored in Miron violet glass doesn’t break down its ingredients, but actually conserves the taste, smell, color, structure and enzymes considerably better than any other receptacle currently known.
In a similar study, they stored chives in comparable containers made of white, brown, and violet glass. The containers were then exposed to sunlight for several hours each day. After 2 months, the chives stored in the brown and white glass containers were bleached and dried. The samples stored in the violet glass, however, showed no color change and the aroma of the chives was clearly stronger and fresher.

It kept the water cold for a long time and it had the great glass taste. I ended up breaking it between moves, and I was devastated.

Great product for preserving the alkaline level of my water and preventing BPA issues from plastic water bottles. Bonus: it’s half the price of other websites so I basically got 2 for the price of 1! Super happy 🙂

I love this UV glass so much. I have dozens of bottles in a variety of sizes now, but this was my very first purchase. I might be crazy but it felt like the water in this bottle tasted smoother in some way. It’s elegant and will make you feel like you are treating yourself good. I ended up buying 3 more of these bottles to give to my mom, dad and sister! You will love it.

I absolutely love these bottles. They arrived on time, and were reasonably priced. We have used them daily since receiving them!! I fill them with filtered water and bioplasma cell salts for my husband to take to work and set them in a window for the sun to purify the water. They are amazing!!

Product arrived on time and in excellent condition. Could not be more pleased. If you put water in this and put it in sunlight (with a LOOSE cap), the vibration and texture of the water is changed in wonderful ways.

Beautiful deep colored glass bottle! Simply amazing how it keeps things in their original form for a long time. I had the joy of accidentally testing this theory and it worked. I left my bottle in my van which was at 20 degrees or less overnight and my water never froze!!!!!! The regular gallon plastic bottles were frozen around this bottle. The water in this glass bottle was very cold but not one inch of ice was in there. Simply amazing!!

After deciding I was done with bottled water and the plastic what-not, I invested in a top-rated under-sink mounted water filtration system. This sent me down the rabbit hole in order to figure out how I would make the water portable so I could bring it to work daily. Obviously, plastic was out. After much research, I came across the Miron Violet line. Intrigued (but having low expectations), I figured it was worth a try. I have to say there is a slightly noticeable difference in the taste of drinking water from regular glass vs. Miron glass. If I had to identify what the difference is, I would say it was slightly sweeter. I did a blind taste test with my husband; noticed the same.

I use it for drinking filtered water. I save money by not buying (plastic) bottled water, and the flavor of the water is far superior. It is a bit heavy, but that doesn’t bother you once you taste how good the water is out of this bottle. It honestly makes drinking a lot of water a luxury, rather than a chore. I highly recommend! 🙂

Protecting our water from light is more important than we realize if we want high quality h20

The properties this glass has and its ability to allow certain light spectrums to be absorbed into the water is incomparable to any other type of bottle you normally can find. One thing you can do to speed up the emptying of the bottle is simple rotate it in your hand in a circular motion which creates a vortex that will cause all the liquid inside to empty out extremely quickly! “Gluggy” problem solved!

I like it. It is what I expected. I can tell the difference in the quality of water when I drink.
