Abstract

This invention relates to delivery matrix compositions (e.g., dietary products or pharmaceuticals) and related methods. In particular, the disclosure relates to delivery matrix compositions that include temperature-dependent O/W emulsion complexes, low viscosity sheared fluid gels, and viscous hydrogels that can facilitate the delivery of a wide range of substances to the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., small intestine) of a subject.
