Metabolism is the process by which a living organism takes energy from its surroundings and uses it to sustain itself, develop, and grow.[1] In humans, from the age of 25 onward, the "metabolic rate slows down 5-10% each decade."[2]
In the human body, drugs are metabolized through two reactions, termed Phase I and Phase II.[3]
