Relating to or characterized by anabolism; promoting growth and building of tissues.
From 'anabolite' + '-ic' (adjective-forming suffix). Scientific terminology developed alongside modern biochemistry in the early-to-mid 20th century.
An anabolitic state—like after eating protein and exercising—is when your body switches into construction mode, which is why athletes obsess over timing their meals and workouts.
