biotransformation
This term is primarily used in pharmacology, toxicology, and biochemistry to describe how the body alters foreign chemicals. It carries a highly technical register and is almost exclusively found in scientific literature or medical reports rather than general conversation.
While it is often used interchangeably with metabolism in a clinical context, biotransformation specifically emphasizes the chemical change of a xenobiotic (a substance foreign to the organism) to facilitate its removal from the body. It describes a process of conversion rather than just the consumption of energy.
