Known Interactions
EDTA is a strong chelator that can strip copper from peptide complexes, deactivating GHK-Cu. Avoid EDTA as a chelating agent in copper peptide formulations; use a non-competing alternative.
EDTA chelates free iron strongly. Intentional in some applications (prevents oxidation catalysis) but can reduce iron bioavailability in supplements/beverages. Verify this is the intended behavior.
