A method for treating a prenatal, pregnant or breastfeeding patient for a disease, condition or disorder that is associated with a nutritional deficiency in the patient comprising administering at least one gummy composition to a patient. The gummy composition comprises an effective amount of vitamin A, vitamin B.sub.6, vitamin B.sub.12, vitamin B.sub.9, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B.sub.3, iodine, choline, iron, and at least one omega-3 fatty acid to treat the disease, condition or disorder in the patient that is associated with a nutritional deficiency in the patient. The gummy composition is provided in a single, homogeneous mixture which is elastic, continuous and readily soluble in aqueous media.

Provided is a food containing milk ceramide that solves the problems of sedimentation and non-uniformity within the food. Also provided is a process for producing the food. Milk ceramide is transformed into a paste and added to a food. In this manner, it becomes possible to add 0.3-10.0% of milk ceramide to a food homogeneously without causing precipitation. Thus, a food can be provided, which contains milk ceramide homogeneously in such an amount that cannot be achieved by conventional techniques without causing sedimentation.

A dietary supplement composition having a dispersion including a plurality of liposomal vesicles, includes an active ingredient, phospholipid contained in the liposomal vesicles, and a coating material. The active ingredient is incorporated within the liposomal vesicles having a barrier coating of the coating material including one of a biopolymer, polyethylene glycol, chitosan and a combination thereof. The coating material is free flowing in the dispersion such that the liposomal vesicles are surrounded by the coating material without being attached to the liposomal vesicles and without forming part of the liposomal vesicles and without affecting weight of the liposomal vesicles. The dispersion is filtered using a tangential flow technique, which washes out outer periphery of liposomal vesicles for removing inactive ingredients contained outside the liposomal vesicles without washing out the coating material surrounding the liposomal vesicles. The dietary supplement composition may be incorporated in gummies, chocolates, atomizers or powders.

A gummy includes an inner portion, a formulation having a dispersion including an active ingredient contained in the inner portion; and an outer portion which surrounds the inner portion. The active ingredient includes one or more nutrients such as cannabinoids and dietary supplement. The dispersion includes one or more of a liposome emulsion; a nanoemulsion, and a microemulsion, each containing the active ingredient. A method of making such gummy having the cannabinoids and/or dietary supplement formulation in the inner portion thereof includes setting up a central filling apparatus having a shell syrup hopper, a central filling hopper, and a manifold branch and nozzle mechanism; filling the shell syrup hopper with the base material; filling the central filling hopper with the formulation; dispensing the base material and the formulation in the manifold branch and nozzle mechanism, and further into the gummy mold; and extracting the gummy from the gummy mold.

Disclosed herein are oral compositions comprising an amino acid and a gelling agent. In certain embodiments, the chewable composition is in the form of a gummy comprising arginine and pectin. Related kits and methods of use are further provided.

A nutritional supplement composition is provided, comprising: a) a base; b) one or more texture agents; and c) one or more active agents. The base comprises: i) fruit and/or vegetable puree, pulp, juice, and/or concentrate; and/or ii) fermented dairy, fruits, vegetables, teas, and/or herbs. The texture agents comprise: i) one or more gums; and/or ii) one or more fatty acids. The active agents comprise: i) vitamins and/or minerals; ii) botanical powders, tinctures, and/or extracts; iii) essential fatty acids and/or derivatives; iv) enzymes; v) essential oils; vi) proteins, collagens, amino acids, and/or derivatives; vii) fibers, oligosaccharides, prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, and/or derivatives; viii) cannabinoids and/or derivatives; and/or ix) dietary ingredients allowed by the US FDA under 21 CFR 111. A process for making the nutritional supplement composition is also provided, comprising the steps of: A) mixing components; B) precision dosing and shaping; C) freeze drying; and D) packing.

The current invention relates to a soft gummy for therapeutic oral use, said soft gummy comprising an outer shell encapsulating an inner liquid, wherein said outer shell comprises: (i) a pectin; and (ii) honey in an amount of at least 25 wt. % relative to the weight of the outer shell; wherein said inner liquid has a moisture content of at least 10 wt. % as measured by ISO 760:1978 and a viscosity of at most 50.0 Pa s measured at 20 C. and wherein the soft gummy comprises a hydrolysable tannin or source of hydrolysable tannin. The invention also relates to a use of a soft gummy.
