An improved process for manufacturing, using, and optimizing performance of a mammal using a pre- and post-workout supplement discloses important ingredients, formulations, and dosage protocols. Elite athletes, average consumers, and select groups of those challenged can be benefited by products by the disclosed processes, as evinced by the performance of UFC once and future light-heavyweight Champion of the World, Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell at UFC 88 in Atlanta, Ga. on 6 Sep. 2008.
