Where are proteins dismantled and absorbed?

Proteins are dismantled into amino acids primarily in the stomach and small intestine. In the stomach, gastric juices and enzymes like pepsin begin the breakdown of proteins. This process continues in the small intestine, where pancreatic enzymes further digest proteins into amino acids, which are then absorbed through the intestinal lining into the bloodstream.
