Is GHK-Cu safe to use with Tetrasodium/Disodium EDTA containing products?

I know that EDTA is a chelating agent and binds to metals. But will it bind to the copper that is attached to the GHK?

I notice most cosmetic products use EDTA to prevent metals from damaging other ingredients and it helps preserve the integrity of the product as well. But I dont see any EDTA being used in SkinBio products. Is this because it will bind to the copper on the GHK and ruin it?

EDTA will bind copper and reduce CP effects.

Thank you Dr Pickart.

Dr Proctor's "Prox-N" contains:

Water, propylene glycol, NANO (nicotinic acid N-Oxide ), SOD's ( copper/zinc peptides, TEMPO/TEMPOL), PBN ( a spin-trap), ascorbate, panthenol, ZnSO4, BHT, EDTA.

He seems to incoporate Copper Peptides and EDTA. What do you have to say about that?

The copper peptides and EDTA will form an inhibitor and slow cell replication.

I have no idea what the other ingredients do. As him about published studies in science journals on these products and hair growth.
