Message definition (Insulin (medication))
Unlike many medicines, insulin cannot be taken orally at the present time. Like nearly all other proteins introduced into the [[gastrointestinal tract]], it is reduced to fragments (single amino acid components), whereupon all activity is lost. There has been some research into ways to protect insulin from the digestive tract, so that it can be administered in a pill. So far this is entirely experimental.
