It’s hard to say.
A lot of that will depend on your own digestive system, the type of protein, what you consume it with, as well as nutrient consumption timing.

Ex:
Fats and fiber can slow & yield more efficient absorption.

Also, if in two minutes you chug 60 grams of whey mixed with water as opposed to sipping it over the course of an hour, you’ll probably find greater overall absorption with the latter method.
