Glossary Metabolites

small molecules produced during metabolism

Metabolites are small molecules that are produced during metabolism, which is the process your body uses to convert food into energy and building blocks for growth. They can be either byproducts of metabolic reactions or essential components that help drive these reactions. For professionals, metabolites can be categorized into primary metabolites, which are directly involved in normal growth, development, and reproduction, and secondary metabolites, which often play a role in ecological interactions and can include compounds like antibiotics and pigments.
