Back in the day Axio Labs used to have a problem with genuine products not authenticating on their website and I recommended avoiding brands that can’t maintain a trustworthy authentication system.

If it turns out that the problem is with the authentication website then you are better off switching to a different brand with a functioning authentication system to avoid going through this again. If the product turns out to be fake then get a new supplier. How you are going to determine what’s what is the issue and personally I will replace both the brand and supplier unless they sort this out for you.

Sure, having the money to waste is one thing, but risking an infection or worse is another. It’s your ass on the line, literally, so I have no problem with your choices but in the end you will have to ask yourself if the risk was worth it.

I watched a documentary about it on netflix called The Traffickers, they had an episode on fake pharma. The lengths these guys would go to, to fake medication is ridiculous.
Rather be safe than sorry.

What’s the purpose of having product authentication when it doesn’t work or what’s the purpose of tying to verify your product when you are just going to believe it’s legit even if the website tells you otherwise?

I 100% Agree. Why risk something that is not even verifiable on the brand's website. I know it is risky in itself as to what we all do aka using UGL gear in the first place but not being able to authenticate is a red flag. Is your health worth the few hundred you spent on that gear? If it is indeed legit the brand is not worthwhile using as they cannot stay up to date with verification codes which are there to give peace of mind to the user in some form.
