The naturally antibacterial copper vessel is intended to be displayed in your home or office as a daily reminder to take LYMA and acts as an ideal storage environment for the capsules. It is for this reason your initial purchase includes the copper vessel. The cost of your Starter Kit includes your initial LYMA Supply, the copper vessel and gives your LYMA Membership. This gives you access to LYMA Concierge and member pricing for refills and subscriptions.
