There is a great mythology about how men change in the presidency. Harry Truman scoffed at any such notion.

Somatotropin is one of the body's important chemicals. Produced by the tiny pituitary gland at the base of the brain, it promotes normal physical growth, hence its other name, human growth hormone (HGH).
