उत्तर
It will be digested in Gastro-Intestinal (GI) tract.
Explanation:
Like food proteins, proteolytic enzymes in the stomach and intestines would break down insulin, a protein hormone, if it were consumed orally. Consequently, it would stop working before it could enter the bloodstream, making it useless. For this reason, insulin is typically given by injection.
