A gummy composition including: 10 to 45 percent by weight of the composition of a protein, wherein a portion of the protein is hydrolyzed; Maltitol syrup; sugar; a structurant; and Water. A method of manufacture of a gummy composition including: Forming a mixture comprising 10 to 45 percent by weight of the composition of a protein, maltitol syrup, sugar, a structurant and water, wherein a portion of the protein is hydrolyzed; and cooking the mixture at a temperature of 85 C. or less.

A dry consumable preparation and related methods are disclosed. The preparation has a bulking agent, and a cannabinoid and/or a cannabinoid extract containing one or more cannabinoids plated onto the bulking agent. The preparation also has an effervescence agent. The effervescence agent has sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and at least one acid, the at least one acid having at least one of citric acid, tartaric acid, or malic acid. The effervescence agent further has a ratio of sodium bicarbonate to potassium bicarbonate to the acid(s) that creates a chemical pH buffering system at a targeted pH range when the dry consumable preparation is added to a targeted amount of water.

A composition includes a sugar source and inositol. The sugar source is one more sugars select from the group consisting of glucose, sucrose, sucrolose, tagatose, galactose, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, isoglucose, and rhamnose. The composition of sugar and inositol has an unique properties that prevents or limits the signaling of TNF- and associated pro-inflammatory cytokines when metabolized by an individual consuming the composition. Accordingly, the composition can be advantageously used to control blood glucose levels, treat diabetes and related conditions as well as treat diseases based on an inflammatory response.
