All proteins begin -: getting broken down in the mouth, but most it occurs in the stomach and 1st part of the Small bowel, due to ENZYMES in these areas. After that in the lower part of the small bowel it gets absorbed. It takes about 2-3 hrs at least. In someone with Stomach or Pancreatic problems, it might take longer or they may not be digested.
