Can I Use a Stainless Steel Container?

We are often asked about putting our minerals in stainless steel drinking containers. Here is the answer from our chemist:

ReMyte and ReMag are both stabilized solutions, but given the right conditions the stability can be upset (i.e., storing the solution in stainless steel). Storing ReMyte or ReMag in its concentrate form (directly out of the bottle) will likely cause a reaction with the stainless steel. This is a function of the concentration of ReMag/ReMyte! ReMyte has a higher overall concentration of ions than ReMag which makes it more likely to react if stored in stainless steel. Also, bear in mind that different quality stainless steel is likely to react differently. Lower quality stainless will react faster than higher quality stainless.

In the case of mixing a serving or even several servings in a stainless vessel, and then consuming the contents, it is my belief and experience that this practice should not cause an issue as the concentration of the ions in solution is considerably lower.

Short term storage of Pico Silver in stainless is fine. Silver will not react with stainless steel, but stainless steel can cause the silver to lose zeta potential or charge, causing some fall out of the silver. This is time sensitive, so a day’s dose in stainless steel is fine but not for long term storage. Also, it's fine to add all 3 minerals together for the day's serving in stainless steel.

So, with regards to the product reacting with metals, this is a function of concentration and is really the result of the vessel reacting with the solution as opposed to the other way around.
