Anabolic

Definition of Anabolic:

Promoting anabolism: Allow the conversion of nutritive material into complex living matter in the constructive metabolism.  Specifically, an agent or function that stimulates the organization of smaller substances into larger ones.  Examples: making a starch out of sugars, a protein out of amino acids, or making triglycerides out of fatty acids are anabolic functions.  Anabolic steroids are internal or external substances that will induce increased body size or mass.  The opposite of catabolic.

Also: Anabolism
