A protein is a substance which is built up by at least 50 amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.The digestion starts by the human body producing the enzyme "Pepsin". This takes place in ourstomach.

In the duodenum the enzyme "Trypsin" will be added. This enzyme will finish the digestion of the protein.

The final product is now amino acids and peptide chains, ready for absorption.
