Questions about Gironda and Rheo’s supplements

I have a few questions about old-school supplements. For 10 years I’ve been using Gironda’s line, NSP Research Nutrition. What are your thoughts on the 92% milk & egg protein compared to yours? Do you feel Beverly International has a better liver supplement than NSP? You had awesome results with Blair’s milk & egg protein; why didn’t you try and formulate it again only with lower lactose and improved digestibility? How does it compare to your Bomber Blend? Do you still use “old school” supplements such as brewers yeast, kelp, choline, wheat germ oils, glandulars, like Vince and Rheo advocated?

I’ll tell you the truth, iron man.

NSP was created and owned and operated by Ray Raridon, now deceased. Not Vince.

NSP products are excellent and the protein is just as described, quality milk and egg. I appreciate both NSP and Beverly International products and have confidence in the owner-operators, Ron Kosloff and Roger and Sandy Riedinger, respectively.

Bomber Blend was developed by me and a staff of experts: chemist, preventive medicine sport doctor, supplement lab owner and protein research expert. It’s the best vitamin-mineral fortified and balanced protein money can buy. It was formulated to be the best with no regard to cost. Taste and mixability is super.

I took Rheo’s protein randomly, a week here and a week there, when it was given to me over a few month’s period. Rheo gave samples to the guys out of generosity, research and to drum up business. I appreciate Rheo and his nutritional pioneering, but do not contribute any of my musclebuilding advancement to his products.

If I thought the Blair concoction was better, I would have simulated it with modifications.

I suspect it’s hard to improve on my food and supplement intake, as it’s been followed and refined over a 25-year period with no swerving. The basics work best.

We need to relax. Walking a tightrope is dangerous and purebreds are susceptible to injury and disease.

Go… Godspeed… Dave Draper
