Metabolomics knowledge is distributed across heterogeneous resources and remains difficult to translate into predictive representations. We developed MetaboLLM, a metabolomics-specialized large language model adapted through continual pretraining, supervised fine-tuning, and structured retrieval, together with MetaboLLM-GIN, which converts generated biochemical descriptions into metabolite graphs for patient-level prediction using a graph isomorphism network. Across four backbone families, MetaboLLM outperformed corresponding base and medically adapted models on metabolomics knowledge, relational, and description tasks, and transferred to an external public benchmark. MetaboLLM-GIN achieved the highest AUC for stress hyperglycemia prediction after coronary artery bypass grafting (0.8616) and postmenopausal hormone-regimen classification (0.8123), outperforming conventional models, alternative graph constructions, and graphs generated from unadapted or non-retrieval LLM configurations. Model interpretation further produced biologically meaningful findings in both applications. These results show that domain-specialized language models can organize heterogeneous biochemical knowledge into predictive and interpretable metabolite graph representations.
