Protein digestion begins in the stomach with the help of stomach acid and enzymes produced by the stomach. The process continues in the small intestine where enzymes from the pancreas and lining of the small intestine break down the protein into amino acids, which can be absorbed into the bloodstream. There is little to no protein digestion that occurs in the mouth.
