Finaflex 1-Alpha - legit or counterfeit?

Hi folks,

it has sure been a while!

Those who remember, I was mid way through my second 1-Alpha run when I started to flip out and vanished from the boards never to be seen again.
It turned out I was heavily poisoned with mercury (from tuna) and had no idea. Was very unwell (physically and mentally) for for some time but with a lot of determination and of course chelation therapy, I've managed to get things back on track.

I've got a quick question that I wanted to run by the reps here regarding a batch of 1-Alpha.
As you know, 1-Alpha isn't sold in stores in Australia (or anywhere else now that it's been discontinued) so the only place to purchase it this side of the world is through eBay; unless you're lucky enough to order it OS and get it in. There's a guy here in Australia who has a few stores on eBay, stocking a lot of Finaflex and IronMagLabs products, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff that nobody else can get (no other PH that I could see - mostly PCT supplements or cycle support). It still baffles me how he has it in such large quantities and sells it in a public domain like eBay, but that's his business and not mine. All of his stores have over a thousand positive feedback comments and no negatives at all.

The last bunch of 1-Alpha I bought in April was from his eBay store, and I have recently bought four more from him which he said was the last lot that he had and probably the last lot that he'll be able to get as it's no longer available. Though I don't still have the bottles from April to compare, I vaguely remember the batch and date being the same as the ones that I have now.

It has only recently come to my attention by reading through some of the forums that there are a lot of people selling counterfeit supplements online, and this has me concerned - 1) because if it's not what it says it is, what the hell is it? and 2) because here in Aus we have to pay twice the normal RRP due to it's scarcity. I have read many of the threads where Snagency and others have commented on the risks taken when one purchases anything from a non-recognized distributer, but anyone living Australia will understand the situation.

The bottles from April and the bottles I have now (refer to attached photos) look identical to those I was first lucky to get in from a reputable US based supplement store, as do the capsules and the shiny/reflective labels, so at a glance they do look legit.

RN:1100113

EXP:11/15

Pretty sure this was the same batch and expiry as the other bottles I had previously purchased.
As far as presentation goes, it seems completely legit to me.

Thanks in advance fellas.
 
Popped open a cap and added some photos of the contents -

Appears to be a kind of off-white power inside.
 
I thought so too until a friend of mine planted the seed of doubt into my mind.

He said it's extremely odd that this guy can get all of these things into Aus and that supps are often counterfeited. First I'd heard or thought about it but a Google search revealed that it does in fact happen.

Would rather double check with the knowledgeable folks over here than solely rely on my own intuition.

Always good to double check;)

I hear it's a hit or mis to get ph's into Australia.
 
Very few of the compounds actually appear on the prohibited substance list (1–Alpha does not) but customs usually confiscates them anyway. I've ordered it before from US stores and received it, and other times it has been seized. When I asked customs why, an answer was refused.
 
It's possible he bought a lot of stock when he heard it was being discontinued. There is no way to know for sure when you buy from an eBay seller unless you have it tested.
 
I thought FinaFlex was doing away with PH's?

I see that everything but 1-Andro was and says "discontinued"

If you are looking on NutraPlanet that's because they still have some in stock.
 
Yeah. NP still has it. What, no love for the new MASS 550? Stuff is awesome man!
MASS550 is awesome! It's my go to sup during pct. It's great to run on its own too!
