Swing for seniors
The concepts of golf swing for seniors is just like the golf swing for younger players, your start from the backswing, then hit the ball on the downswing and make a follow-through.

While for younger players, back swing is done by stretching the arms fully to make a wide arc as you bring down the club towards the downswing. Cocking the club will come later, as compared to the senior where cocking comes earlier.
Still the swing needs power, but seniors are advised to be more strategic rather than exert greater power that may put them at risk. If you usually reach 300 yards when you are younger, hitting the ball after 50 can be 200 yards or less. You only need to make sure that the direction is still there.

Just a Little Golf History
Just a Little Golf History
The origin of golf is hard to place exactly. Several countries are claiming that they started the now popular game, but the most believed is the Netherlands. According to history, the Netherlands had the ideas of hitting balls into holes with a golf club in the 17th century. In addition to this, it is said that the word golf comes from the Dutch was kolf which means stick, club and bat. It does NOT come from the acronym "gentlemen only, ladies forbidden." Despite this early introduction of golf, it did not come around in the United States until the 1880s.
The oldest course in the world dates back to St. Andrews Trails, located in the Royal Burgh of St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland. This course is known as the "home of golf".
Even though it is commonly known that golf courses have eighteen holes, according to history, this has not always been so. Golfers at St. Andrews played on a route that was determined by the topography of the area. An eleven-hole course came about and players would play all eleven, turn around and play them again - twenty-two holes. Some thought that the holes were to short in 1764, so were combined with other holes. The number was reduced from eleven to nine, leaving a total of eighteen holes.
The size of the golf hole even goes back in history. The standard golf hole size is 4.25 inches in diameter. It was the St. Andrews Trails that were the founders of this standard size, with some assistance from the links at Musselburgh. This size was decided upon because the folks at Musselburgh had invented the first known hole cutter in 1829. This cutter utilized a tool that was 4.25 inches in diameter. St. Andrews simply liked that size and adopted it for the games standard hole size.
The common used phrases in the game of golf are birdie, eagle and par. The word bird was a slang term in the 19th century that referred to anything considered remotely cool. So the term was used then for a great shot in a game of golf - one that led to a score under par - and was eventually turned into birdie. The word eagle followed along those lines in keeping with the bird mentality. Par was used long before it became associated with the game of golf and basically meant something that was acceptable or average. The word simply became associated over time with the game of golf to indicate an ideal score among golfers.
Where did these rules come from? Well, you honestly cannot play a game, any game, without rules. So from the very beginning there had to have been understood rules to play along with. No one knows what those rules were as the rules were never officially written until they were specifically written in 1744 for the Annual Challenge for the Edinburgh Silver Club.
SUMMARY: Golf didn’t just come around yesterday. It has a history. And to fully enjoy and understand the game, you need to know where it came from. Learn a little!

So the term was used then for a great shot in a game of golf - one that led to a score under par - and was eventually turned into birdie. The word eagle followed along those lines in keeping with the bird mentality. Par was used long before it became associated with the game of golf and basically meant something that was acceptable or average. The word simply became associated over time with the game of golf to indicate an ideal score among golfers.
Where did these rules come from? Well, you honestly cannot play a game, any game, without rules. So from the very beginning there had to have been understood rules to play along with. No one knows what those rules were as the rules were never officially written until they were specifically written in 1744 for the Annual Challenge for the Edinburgh Silver Club.
SUMMARY: Golf didn’t just come around yesterday. It has a history. And to fully enjoy and understand the game, you need to know where it came from. Learn a little!
Just a Little Golf History
Just a Little Golf History
The origin of golf is hard to place exactly. Several countries are claiming that they started the now popular game, but the most believed is the Netherlands. According to history, the Netherlands had the ideas of hitting balls into holes with a golf club in the 17th century. In addition to this, it is said that the word golf comes from the Dutch was kolf which means stick, club and bat. It does NOT come from the acronym "gentlemen only, ladies forbidden." Despite this early introduction of golf, it did not come around in the United States until the 1880s.
The oldest course in the world dates back to St. Andrews Trails, located in the Royal Burgh of St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland. This course is known as the "home of golf".
Even though it is commonly known that golf courses have eighteen holes, according to history, this has not always been so. Golfers at St. Andrews played on a route that was determined by the topography of the area. An eleven-hole course came about and players would play all eleven, turn around and play them again - twenty-two holes. Some thought that the holes were to short in 1764, so were combined with other holes. The number was reduced from eleven to nine, leaving a total of eighteen holes.
The size of the golf hole even goes back in history. The standard golf hole size is 4.25 inches in diameter. It was the St. Andrews Trails that were the founders of this standard size, with some assistance from the links at Musselburgh. This size was decided upon because the folks at Musselburgh had invented the first known hole cutter in 1829. This cutter utilized a tool that was 4.25 inches in diameter. St. Andrews simply liked that size and adopted it for the games standard hole size.

In here is where you will transfer all the power you mustered into the ball and send it off rolling. The alignment, stance and grip will define this moment and thus, the result of the swing.
There are three phases of downswing, which happens in less than a second. The phases are shifting from the backswing, rotating and finally hitting the ball.
Upon impact will you only know if you did the swing right or failed in your attempt. If you slice, hook or shank the ball, do not worry. Even professional commit this mistake many times.
To execute your swing well you may need a mentor to guide you, choose a mentor and surely, in time, you will be able to execute you swing well.
However, this is not the end. There is but one more part of the actual golf swing, the follow-through.
What is the follow-through?
It is in the follow-through where you release all the force and finishes the swing. Your position in the follow-through will tell if you did the full swing perfectly and thus sending your ball to the hole.
You will surely be able to say that you did the full swing well if your follow-through gives you the position where you chest faces your target. The follow-through will also send your clubface accelerating upon impact. The perfect swing does not stop upon hitting the ball; the follow-through finishes your swing and defines the delivery of the ball to the target.
Like in any game, there is no overnight success in playing golf. Even, golf professional you see on television started long before to master that perfect golf swing. It is for you to practice and ensure that every mistake is noted and every game is improved.
Do not be afraid of poor stroke, but try to improve every time and practice. This is the only way to hit the ball to the hole.

What do you need to play golf?
Understanding of the game
Proper equipment
Patience
Practice
I do not want to be too technical about it, my mission is to help you start and improve your golf game. Read on and have an open mind.
Understanding the game
You will need to know that your goal is to send the ball to the hole. However, you may ask why then do players take so much time on the tee? This is because you will need to learn the swing to send the ball to the hole.
The golf course has many holes you need to cover and the distance between each hole could be somewhere from 100 to 600 yards. You will need to learn how to swing the ball, possibly reach the level of hitting the ball to travel at 100 KPH. To do this you will need to practice.
Proper equipment
One equipment you need to be comfortable with is your golf club. Do you wonder why a golf bag contains numerous golf clubs? This is not only to give the caddy a job; it is because in one single game, you will need all the different kinds of golf club. Types of golf club necessary to play a golf game are the putter, iron, wood, wedge and the driver.
All of them play a particular part in the game and you will need to understand how each of them work.
Let me tell you at this point that many beginners mistakably purchase costly golf clubs and this is not necessary. You only need a golf club that you will be comfortable with, thus if you must buy, buy your golf clubs intelligently.
Patience
You will need to give fluidity to your swing and if you are angry, frustrated or too excited, you will not be able to deliver the swing that will lead to the hole. Patience is therefore necessary; you may be mad at your poor swing but take time to relax and try again.
Practice
There is no overnight success in golf. Thus, to execute that perfect swing, you will need to practice. Practice without the ball and practice with the ball. You may be able to execute the swing perfectly without the ball, but executing it with the ball can make the difference. Thus, you will need a lot of practice to perform that swing you see on tournaments.
I hope that the above will help you begin playing golf. Have fun and see you on the green.

Guide on how to play golf
If you know people, who conduct business in the golf course, then may be you want the experience as well. This guide on how to play golf will help you in understanding the intricacies of this game. I may need to mention that this game is unlike any other game; in here, what you need is strategy rather than power.

If you want to have powerful and perfect swings , your hands must be ready before the game even starts. Swinging is a good exercise to help achieve this. Practice swinging your hands as a good exercise to set your muscles ready for those great drives. After all the game is in getting the swing right.
Getting Your Swing Right
If you are going to be at your best at the game of golf, there is a need for you t get your swing right. Normally there are six parts to a swing in golf. These are: the correct alignment of the golf club; correct posture and position, back swing, take-away, impact and the follow through. Getting this right will guarantee perfect swings throughout the game and help you play better golf.
Know Your Clubs
The golf club is very important in the game of golf. If you are really interested in enjoying your game, you need to know your clubs well. It’s in knowing your club that you know your swing and how to direct your drives.
Know Your Course
Just important as the clubs in the game of golf is the golf course. Great players are those who take time to study their course. Knowing your course has the advantage of letting you know where to avoid in the course and where to focus your drives. When you know your course well, you know where the trouble spots are and how to avoid it. This helps you to play better golf because you will be having a nice game.
Don’t Be Intimidated By Those You Are Playing Against
To be your best at the game you must never allow the people you are playing against to intimidate you . No matter how good they are, don’t let their track records intimidate you, if you do you will lose focus. Make sure your focus is on the game, playing your best and not at your opponents what they have done in the past. “Here and now is what matters” should be what you should keep telling yourself. You will be surprised how beatable these people are when you don’t allow them to intimidate you.
SUMMARY
To play better golf you need to prepare yourself well before each game, master your swing, know your club and course well and refuse to be intimidated by your opponents.

Golf Etiquette Rules
Golf Etiquette Rules
Most people do not realize that when you are playing on those green hills on a beautiful Saturday morning there are rules to follow. You can’t just show up, hit some balls into some holes and call it a day. There are rules of golf. There are even long, descriptive, detailed books about these rules. Well, I will make it easy for you. I am giving you the five basic etiquette guidelines to follow when playing golf. Guidelines that veteran players need to brush up on as much as beginners need to know.
Tee Times - Most of the time, you may want to reserve a tee time to arrive at the gold course to play. When you and your golf buddies schedule a tee time, actually show up for the tee time. There is nothing ruder than making an appointment and not sticking to it. If your group misses your tee time, you could lose your spot and have to wait around for another opening. In fact, a good rule of thumb will be to arrive earlier than your scheduled time. This way you can warm up by hitting a few balls at the driving range.
Equipment - Make sure you have your equipment with you. Borrowing clubs is not necessarily frowned upon but you do not want to bother your companions by continuously asking to borrow their clubs. When arriving at the golf course, make sure you have all the clubs you need, not to exceed fourteen. Also, have enough tees and balls with you.
Dress - Check on your golf course’s dress code. Most courses do require certain attire. Khaki shorts and a button up shirt will fit the attire at most courses, but you may want to check just to make sure. Golf shoes and golf gloves are usually up to the player but you should check before arriving empty handed. Be sure to have extra loose bills on you for tipping purposes.
Course - These beautiful courses don’t deserve you coming in and being all rough and rude to it. Follow the rules of the golf cart. Do not drive where you aren’t supposed to, and especially keep them away from greens and hazards. Be sure to repair any divots and ball marks on the green. Never take a divot on a practice swing. And, finally, rake all sand traps to erase footprints and damage to area where your ball was.
Pace Appropriately - Having to wait on people is annoying. Making people wait on you is rude. Watch the game. Be ready for your turn. Wave faster groups around you if you are moving slowly. Keep pace with the group ahead of you. Do not waste too much time looking for a lost ball. If you want to keep to the five minutes allowed, wave groups behind you ahead so you will not hold them up.
Golf can be a fun, relaxing way to spend a morning, afternoon or even a full day. You can enjoy that time either alone or with a group of friends or coworkers. Just remember that golf is a game and just as in most games there are rules to follow. Remember the golden rule? Yeah, keep to that.
SUMMARY: Golf may be fun and relaxing but it has rules. Keep to the rules and the etiquette guidelines to make it enjoyable for yourself as well as all the other players on the course.

Khaki shorts and a button up shirt will fit the attire at most courses, but you may want to check just to make sure. Golf shoes and golf gloves are usually up to the player but you should check before arriving empty handed. Be sure to have extra loose bills on you for tipping purposes.
Course - These beautiful courses don’t deserve you coming in and being all rough and rude to it. Follow the rules of the golf cart. Do not drive where you aren’t supposed to, and especially keep them away from greens and hazards. Be sure to repair any divots and ball marks on the green. Never take a divot on a practice swing. And, finally, rake all sand traps to erase footprints and damage to area where your ball was.
Pace Appropriately - Having to wait on people is annoying. Making people wait on you is rude. Watch the game. Be ready for your turn. Wave faster groups around you if you are moving slowly. Keep pace with the group ahead of you. Do not waste too much time looking for a lost ball. If you want to keep to the five minutes allowed, wave groups behind you ahead so you will not hold them up.
Golf can be a fun, relaxing way to spend a morning, afternoon or even a full day. You can enjoy that time either alone or with a group of friends or coworkers. Just remember that golf is a game and just as in most games there are rules to follow. Remember the golden rule? Yeah, keep to that.
SUMMARY: Golf may be fun and relaxing but it has rules. Keep to the rules and the etiquette guidelines to make it enjoyable for yourself as well as all the other players on the course.

Buying Those First Golf Clubs
Buying Those First Golf Clubs
When beginner golfers go to their local sports store to purchase the clubs they need to kick it off on the golf course they sometimes aren’t exactly sure what to buy. There are so many different things to choose from. There are the expensive ones, the cheap ones, the most popular ones, the ones the pros are using. That’s what I’m here for. To help guide you in the right direction for purchasing your first set of golf clubs.
The first thing you should do is get your swing evaluated by a professional first. This way you can buy the clubs appropriate to your specifics. Those people somewhere who make golf clubs has a goal in life: to create golf clubs that maximize “the physics of a golfer’s swing” while allowing for a range of swing error to provide an accurate, yet forgiving shot. The better swing you have, of course, the less forgiving club you require.
Okay, so golf association rules state that you can have no more than fourteen clubs in your bag, one of which has to be a putter. So, we have thirteen clubs left to get together. Let’s get started.
Woods
There are three woods that golfers need: the 1-driver, 3 and 5. The wood is a hollow-bodied large headed club. These clubs are used when you are 175 yards or more away from the green, specifically off the tee.
Irons
A standard set of irons consists of: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Irons are typically used when you are 200 yards or less from the green. The closer you are to the green, the higher number iron you will use.
Wedges
Just a fancy word really for a specialty iron really. Common used wedges in golfers’ sets are the pitching wedge, sand wedge, approach wedge, lob wedge and high lob wedge. These clubs can be extremely useful to a golfers game. These assist you in controlling your shots.
Putters
If you ever played putt putt then you know what these are for. That’s right! It gets the ball into the hole. It is used on the green only and there are a wide variety of putters out there to choose from.
Now, you don’t have to have a completely full set to start golfing. In fact, my research has shown that it is actually recommended for beginner golfers to start out with a short set. It is recommended to have a 3-wood, 3-iron, 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron and a putter. You can always fill in the missing clubs later once you start to get better, learn your yardage more and become more schooled on the physics of clubs. You can also purchase a short set second hand and sell it later or trade it in for a full set.
SUMMARY: All golfers have to have a set of golf clubs. Beginners can be clueless on what clubs they actually need. Here are some tips on what to get.

Risks: A Part of Human Growth Hormone Treatment
Risks: A Part of Human Growth Hormone Treatment
Human growth hormone diseases are treated by certain products, supplements and different methods. HGH diseases are basically classified into two; GH deficiency and excessive GH. These diseases often result to growth abnormalities in the person who has the disease.
The side effects of the different procedures and methods (i.e., surgery, pituitary irradiation) are explained right after the discussions of each procedure. The side effects of HGH supplements and product that are made available in the market are not totally explained in their respective descriptions. These HGH products all claim that they benefit the consumer with regards to aging, raising HGH levels and increasing muscle mass. However, only few of the consumer market actually know the risk that they are plunging to if they buy HGH supplements.
HGH supplements have a variety of side effects. Side effects often vary between individuals because of the different responses from each individual. Other individuals may be allergic to a specific ingredient while other’s respond in a different way. Side effects of HGH supplements range from chronic diseases, mild diseases and even fatal outcomes. Unguided using of HGH products may result to acromegaly, damage to liver and thyroid gland, being diabetic, hair growth over the body and swelling of the heart.
One of the fatal side effects of HGH supplements is the increase in blood pressure. People who have a history of hypertension are prone to this side effect. People who are undergoing a diet with HGH supplements should pay close attention to their blood pressures. Hypertension is a deadly disease and has claimed many lives in the world.
Another side effect of HGH supplements is diabetes. Diabetes is concerned with rise and fall of blood sugar levels. People who are diabetic should do some precautionary measures before taking supplements. They should consult a doctor if HGH supplements are beneficial or detrimental to their health.
Disturbed sleep is also a side effect of HGH supplements. While others claim that HGH makes sleep wonderful, disturbance in the sleep cycle of an individual still manifests after taking HGH supplements. The disturbance of sleep can be partly referred to as an onset of dreaming or the sensitiveness of an individual to the increase in dopamine and other drugs.
Other side effects of HGH supplements may include breast enlargement in men, organ enlargement and these supplements can also trigger heart failure.
There are many supplements that are advertised through the internet and other publications. All of these supplements claim that they can reverse the aging process, augment deficiencies in HGH levels and increase muscle mass in the individual. These supplements are available in different kinds; injectables, oral sprays, pills and natural herbal releasers.
One of the powers that these supplements use to attract consumers is the ability to reverse aging. People are too obsessed on the possibility of being young again that they have opened doors to these supplements to penetrate their lives. Another attraction of these supplements is their assumed capability to increase muscle mass and to stimulate the production of more lean muscle tissue. Most of all, these supplements attract consumers by offering discounted prices and promos.
Human growth hormone supplements are very common nowadays. The existence of these supplements can be mainly attributed to the different functions and possibilities that it offers to human. Nonetheless, people should not be too gullible and believe whatever the advertisement says. Researching on HGH and HGH supplements is the best and most possible way to obtain information about these products.

Knowing The Human Growth Hormone
Knowing The Human Growth Hormone
Human growth hormone is an important hormone in the human body. It is secreted by the pituitary gland that is located in the brain. The growth hormone is a major product of the pituitary gland and is specifically produced by somatotrophs in the anterior part. The growth hormone is often referred to as somatotrophin and is responsible for controlling growth and has effects in metabolism processes.
Somatotrophin is specific to every species which means that different species have different growth hormone. It is a peptide consisting of 191 amino acids. It is secreted in explosions and not secreted throughout the day. The secretion of growth hormone increases before sleeping. The amount of secretion of somatotrophin, together with thyroid and sex hormones, affect the height of the individual. Aside from affecting growth, somatotrophin also plays a role in controlling metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fat. Growth hormone is very important in every individual's maintenance of body composition.
The production of growth hormone is increased and decreased by certain factors. These factors include stress, nutrition, exercise and sleep. However, the primary regulators of HGH are growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), somatostatin and Ghrelin. GHRH stimulates the synthesis and production of the growth hormone. Somatostatin is a peptide produce by hypothalamus and stops growth hormone release in response to GHRH and other motivating factors. Ghrelin powerfully stimulates production of growth hormone through binding with somatotrophs.
Growth hormone has two distinct types of effects in the body. These effects are;
1.) Direct effects
2.) Indirect effects
Direct effects are the results of binding between growth hormone receptors and target cells. One example of this is the effect of growth hormone binding with fat cells which results in the breaking down of triglyceride in fat cells and prevents them from taking and circulating lipids. On the other hand, indirect effects are brought about by Insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I). This hormone is secreted as a response to growth hormone. It is also one of the primary aides of growth hormone in affecting growth.
HGH together with IGF-I have significant roles in different processes in the body. Examples of these processes are:
1.) Growth of all tissues including repair
2.) Turning body fat into muscle
3.) Energy level improvement
4.) Bone strength
5.) Brain function
The body actively produces growth hormones during childhood and puberty years. This active production results to height increase in individuals. However, at the end of puberty years, secretion of growth hormone decreases. It continuously decreases as people grow older. The decrease in the production of growth hormone contributes to weakness of bones in older people and their loss of strength. In some cases, children are born with growth hormone abnormalities. Growth hormone deficiency results in low stature of an individual. Excessive growth hormones result in having too much height.
Human growth hormone is very important in as much that is has become the subject of research. Researchers are continuously finding ways to use growth hormones in reversing aging and increasing muscle mass. Several researchers and companies have produced HGH products. These products are mainly used in treating HGH diseases. They are available in injections, pills and oral sprays. These HGH products and supplements are also being used in combating age.
HGH products are induced into the body to increase the HGH secretion therefore making the user feel young again. However, the fact remains that age can not be defeated and the aging process is inevitable for every human.

Human Growth Hormone: The Popular Test
Human Growth Hormone: The Popular Test
Human growth hormone diseases can be determined through administering tests on individuals. Human growth hormone is the hormone responsible for growth and plays a role in metabolism processes. It is secreted by the pituitary gland and considered to be a major product of the gland. Human growth hormone is commonly referred to as somatotropin.
HGH diseases are present in forms of excess or deficiency of the hormone. Basically, HGH deficiency gives low stature to an individual and excessive HGH is related to gigantism. There are different methods of treating HGH diseases. The treatment of an individual with HGH disease can be more effective if the disease is identified earlier.
There are different tests that are used to find out if an individual has HGH disease. One of these tests is the Growth Hormone Simulation Test (GHST). GHST is used to determine the individual’s ability to produce HGH. There are several purposes of the GHST test. Some of these are:
1.) To identify delayed puberty
2.) To monitor the functioning of the pituitary gland
3.) To help in the analysis of pituitary tumors and gigantism
4.) To assess HGH therapy
Before adhering to the test, an individual must abstain from any activity that might affect his HGH levels. There are drugs that must be avoided because they decrease or increase the HGH level. Amphetamines, dopamines and corticosteroids are drugs to be avoided before the test. The patient must also avoid being stressed, avoid exercising or going into a diet because these factors affect the HGH level. The patient must also abstain from eating or drinking after midnight before the test.
A normal person with a low level of HGH before the test doesn’t necessarily mean that he has a disease. The level of HGH of a patient is bound to increase after simulation. If the level doesn’t increase after simulation, then the patient is recommended for other tests and will be examined for other symptoms of HGH disease.
GHST involves the injection of insulin-induced hypoglycemia or HGH releasing factor to stimulate the secretion of HGH. Blood samples are taken five times after the injection of a stimulant. These blood samples are used in determining the HGH level of a patient.
During the test, a patient may experience sweating and sleepiness. A minor distress is also expected to be felt after the test. There are also cases of ketosis and a disturbance of the body’s acid-base balance that is associated with GHST. A patient may also experience too much bleeding, fainting, blood accumulation under the skin and infection. However, all of these side effects can be avoided with proper and keen observation form the administering doctor.
The GHST is one of the frequently used tests in determining HGH diseases. However, it is merely a test to determine the HGH level and the pituitary gland’s capacity to produce HGH. A fixed HGH level is used as parameter to determine if a patient has HGH deficiency. Normal results vary with sex and age. If a patient falls below the normal results, he is recommended for diagnosis and treatment.
Undergoing a test is not the cure for HGH diseases. The tests are only the start of treating HGH diseases. All people are at risk of acquiring Human growth diseases. People who notice abnormalities in their height or muscle mass should immediately submit themselves for a test. It is never too late to prevent HGH diseases.

Human Growth Hormone: Finding The Right Supplement
Human Growth Hormone: Finding The Right Supplement
Human growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. It participates in growth processes and metabolism processes. This hormone also contributes in the aging processes of the body. HGH which is commonly referred to as Somatotropin affects the following:
1.) Bone growth
2.) Muscle growth
3.) Amino acid uptake
4.) Metabolism processes (carbohydrate metabolism, protein metabolism and fat metabolism.
Scientists have dwelt on the possibility that HGH can be used to reverse or slow down aging and increase muscle mass. Researches on this topic have resulted to the introduction of several products that claims to slow down aging and increase muscle mass.
INITIAL RESEARCHES ON HGH
The first research on HGH was an attempt to treat growth hormone deficiency. Endocrinologist Maurice Raben treated a 17 year old boy of growth deficiency after purifying enough growth hormone from a cadaver. This achievement interested many endocrinologist and they began extensive research on HGH possibilities. However, the use of purified growth hormone from dead bodies resulted to cases of Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease. This side effect signaled the end of cadaver GH treatment.
In 1981, Somatrem, a biosynthetic growth hormone, was developed by Genentech pharmaceutical company through their collaboration with KABI. Somatrem was produced using Inclusion Body Technology. However, somatrem also produced side effects on the human body namely allergic reactions and resistance to the drugs. These side effects are mainly because Somatrem was not pure GH, it has methanol amino acid. On the other hand, Somatropin, which is currently the most common form of HGH today, was developed through Protein secretion technology.
It can also be produced through Mouse-cell manufacturing. Somatropin is identical to the amino acid sequence of Somatotropin.

Human growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. It participates in growth processes and metabolism processes. This hormone also contributes in the aging processes of the body. HGH which is commonly referred to as Somatotropin affects the following:
1.) Bone growth
2.) Muscle growth
3.) Amino acid uptake
4.) Metabolism processes (carbohydrate metabolism, protein metabolism and fat metabolism.
Scientists have dwelt on the possibility that HGH can be used to reverse or slow down aging and increase muscle mass. Researches on this topic have resulted to the introduction of several products that claims to slow down aging and increase muscle mass.
INITIAL RESEARCHES ON HGH
The first research on HGH was an attempt to treat growth hormone deficiency. Endocrinologist Maurice Raben treated a 17 year old boy of growth deficiency after purifying enough growth hormone from a cadaver. This achievement interested many endocrinologist and they began extensive research on HGH possibilities. However, the use of purified growth hormone from dead bodies resulted to cases of Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease. This side effect signaled the end of cadaver GH treatment.
In 1981, Somatrem, a biosynthetic growth hormone, was developed by Genentech pharmaceutical company through their collaboration with KABI. Somatrem was produced using Inclusion Body Technology. However, somatrem also produced side effects on the human body namely allergic reactions and resistance to the drugs. These side effects are mainly because Somatrem was not pure GH, it has methanol amino acid. On the other hand, Somatropin, which is currently the most common form of HGH today, was developed through Protein secretion technology.
It can also be produced through Mouse-cell manufacturing. Somatropin is identical to the amino acid sequence of Somatotropin. People who have been using HGH say that they look good and feel young when they use HGH but HGH (either somatrem or somatropin) has their side effects. These side effects include increase in blood pressure, joint pain, withholding of fluid and increase in insulin resistance.
