Hi all. What's a good copper chelator?
CC @haidut
EGCG is the strongest in this study with multiple copper chelating agents:

Asking because of this article, which suggests that undissolvable blood clots could be caused by iron and copper:
Dense Iron/Copper-Induced Blood Clots Linked To Brain, Eye, Heart and Diabetic Diseases; Some Natural Remedies Identified
Also vitamin C:

Also vitamin C:
- copper and vitamin C are direct antagonists. This means that they oppose each other in the body. This is one reason many people feel better taking a lot of vitamin C. Copper tends to oxidize and destroy vitamin C in the body. Meanwhile, vitamin C chelates or removes copper from the body. This requires a dose of vitamin C of at least about 500 mg daily, far higher than the minimum daily requirement of about 60 mg. On the other hand, two small studies in healthy, young adult men indicate that the oxidase activity of ceruloplasmin may be impaired by relatively high doses of supplemental vitamin C – I don’t know what that means but I can’t find any suggestion anywhere that vitamin C is harmful in the case of copper toxicity, just the opposite in fact: “Vitamin C can and does do miraculous things for patients afflicted with toxic levels of copper.”
