The act or process, by which living tissues or cells take up and convert into their own proper substance the nutritive material brought to them by the blood, or by which they transform their cell protoplasm into simpler substances, which are fitted either for excretion or for some special purpose, as in the manufacture of the digestive ferments. Hence, metabolism may be either constructive (anabolism), or destructive (katabolism).

Is there any supplements that lower metabolism?

The answer is yes if you have too high of a metabolism. Iodine may help regulate metabolism, especially if the high metabolism is related to the thyroid. Oftentimes, what may appear to be high metabolism is really poor digestion, so digestive supplements like enzymes, betaine HCl, and probiotics may help. Finally, hypoglycemia, depression, and anxiety can all be related to a high metabolism, so supplements that help out those disorders can help lower the metabolism. Eating less sweets and carbs can also slow down the metabolism and level it out.
