What is Protein Digestion and Absorption Process about?
Protein digestion is a multi-step process that begins in the stomach and is completed in the small intestine. In the stomach, proteins are broken down by gastric juices containing pepsin. In the small intestine, proteolytic enzymes like trypsin and chymotrypsin are released by the pancreas to further break proteins down into individual amino acids. The amino acids are then absorbed through the intestinal walls and used to build new proteins throughout the body.
