Abstract: A readily dissolvable carrier material having sufficient rigidity for administration of drugs, nutrients, vitamins, biologically-active materials, foodstuffs and combinations thereof capable of rapid dissolution by saliva, bodily fluids or other liquid comprising an interim skeletal structure of a watersoluble, hydratable gel or foam forming material, preferably a proteinaceous material, such as with maltodextran, in the hydrated state and dehydrated to leave spaces in place of hydration water. On dissolution by saliva, bodily fluids or other liquids, the composition becomes a liquid system. While the oral route is preferred, other routes may be used to administer the compositions of this method.
