You're on a mission, eh?
So you (sagit) joined this forum the same day you made your first post? And according to your mandatory intro post you "found this site by chance"? hahaha! sure you did.
And your first posts just happen to suggest the integrity of a long-time known supplier might be in question?
Should I just call you IAS?
Can YOU smell fraud?
If Pivotal were supplying non-genuine product, don't you think someone on this forum or elsewhere on the internet would already have posted to that effect sometime during the last couple of years?
Hell, I would have myself. I flocking loath jackass incompetent amateur inept suppliers and especially cheats. My mission on this forum is to get the absolute truth and the best quality.
But when I just searched this forum for any references to pivotal before writing the above, I found the following:

"contact mwalker@pivotalbioscience.com. They`re reliable and the stuff they are selling is the real deal."
I've purchased Peptide Bioregulators from IAS, then peptidesstore.com, then Pivotal Bioscience.
Products from each of them are identical in every way.
Who is peptidesstore.com then? Why didn't that 'Executive Director' woman you corresponded with at the St. Petersburg Institute also mention peptidesstore.com as well as IAS?
Since she didn't mention peptidesstore.com, then according to you they might be selling 'counterfeit' fake product, right?
I know for a fact that peptidesstore.com do not source from the St. Petersburg Institute. They source from the St. Petersburg Institute's biggest distributor called npcriz.ru
I know this because I asked them when I was ordering from them and then I confirmed it with npcriz.ru because I wanted surety that I was getting the genuine article.
Hang on, now there's not just another reseller (peptidesstore.com) but also an entire distributor (npcriz.ru) which the Executive director woman didn't tell you about?
H'mmm, I wonder why she wouldn't have mentioned npcriz.ru to you? NPCRIZ advise they are the oldest and biggest distributor for the St. Petersburg Institute.
Seems a lot dodgy and suspicious to me that she would have omitted to mention their biggest distributor and a well known reseller (peptidesstore.com).
I am absolutely certain peptidesstore.com, Pivotal Bioscience, and IAS are all selling genuine Peptide Bioregulators manufactured by the St. Petersburg Institute.
All their products are identical and they all have the same noticeable effect.
And that is all that matters.. whether they are genuine, not which distribution channel they have transited through.
and who are the following guys in South Africa?..

Another counterfeiter selling fake product in your opinion?
The Executive Director also didn't mention them so they must be selling fake products right?
Why don't you also try and find their ownership structure from their website? Good luck with that.
And how are you getting on finding out the ownership from their websites of Ceretropic, rui-products.com, and peptidesciences.com, three other trusted suppliers?
If you bother trying, I bet you get nowhere.
It is difficult finding good trustworthy suppliers of innovative products and research compounds.
When someone on the very day they register on this forum makes their first post and that post is suggesting a long time known trusted supplier might be suspect:
1. such behavior is suspect in itself
2. it wastes other peoples time in possibly checking things out/questioning them unnecessarily
I don't want my time to be wasted on being alarmed and possibly heading off on a wild goose chase based on what turns out to be unfounded poorly researched information.
Why don't you just man-up and write to Pivotal Bioscience and ask them about your queries?
That would be the best test of transparency and integrity to subject them to.
Then when you've got some concrete facts come back here and post.
Or, just instead just pay IAS $70 for 20 capsules, instead of $33 from Pivotal, if you're that precious about their ownership.
Also, you wrote:
"Any business/individual that conducts trade out of, or in, Australia, is required to register that business name with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission."
This is an outright lie, fabricated to support your story.
I know this for a fact because we export all over the world including to Australia, and we always carry out 'know your customer' checks, even if they are paying in advance.
In Australia, as in the UK and many countries, anyone can use any business trading name they like providing no one else has registered it.
Registering a business trading name is optional. You register a business trading name if you want to prevent others from using it.
The only registration which which is mandatory in Australia is something called an 'Australian Business Number' which is a unique number assigned to the legal entity carrying out the business.
But the name of the legal entity carrying out the business, and the public business name(s) used by it in the course of its day to day trading activities, can be completely different.
The 'Australian Business Number' of the legal entity carrying out the business must appear on the legal entity's Purchase Orders and Sales Invoices, which provides the connection back to the ownership.
If you dispute having lied about this, then post the link to the page of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission or HM Revenue/Inland Revenue (or equivalent) where is says Any business/individual that conducts trade out of, or in, Australia, is required to register that business name.
