N-acetylcysteine attenuates copper overload-induced oxidative injury in brain of rat
The second I saw this I thought the thiol group on n-acetylcysteine might be able to chelate copper. This was the first reference that showed up. You can buy it OTC.
By the way if you have copper pipes you might be getting too much copper. The water distiller that goes with the autoclave at work keeps getting clogged up with cupric and calcium carbonate from the pipes and the groundwater, respectively.
It’s a pain to clean that stuff out, it’s like scrubbing rocks off stainless steel.

Am familiar with this distillation phenomenon, best to do a mild citric acid rinse every use. Buildup causes element overheating.
