Peptide Metabolism: How the Body Breaks Down Peptides

When you consume proteins, your body begins breaking them down in the stomach with gastric acid and enzymes like pepsin, producing smaller peptides. This process continues in the small intestine with pancreatic enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, which hydrolyze peptides into even smaller fragments and amino acids. Specialized enzymes
