Compositions and methods for oral and/or mucosal administration of a biologically active agent are provided according to aspects of the present disclosure which include: a plurality of particles, wherein each particle has an exterior surface, the exterior surface defining a particle interior, the exterior surface having at least one type of zwitterionic polymer and/or zwitterionic copolymer disposed thereon and/or extending therefrom; and a biologically active agent disposed on the exterior surface and/or in the particle interior, wherein the biologically active agent is or includes a protein, peptide, or dietary supplement. According to particular aspects, compositions and methods for oral and/or mucosal administration of an anti diabetes biological agent, such as insulin and/or an insulin analog.

The present invention provides processes for producing visibly clear aqueous consumable products. Consumable products may include compositions for solubilizing water-insoluble and poorly water-soluble or poorly permeable active ingredients such as drugs, nutritional supplements, and essential oils. The compositions are useful for administration of the active ingredient to the subject via various routes and provide good bioavailability of the active. The compositions are generally clear and non-turbid and are useful, for example, for preparing formulations of cannabinoid compounds.
