Abstract

A composition and method for preparing multi-vitamin comestible units which disperse quickly in the mouth, especially when chewed, includes initiating crystallization of shearform matrix with crystallization/binding promoter and combining with an additive to form flowable, compactible micro-particulates. The combination is then shaped to form a comestible unit having high structural integrity, good appearance, and excellent release characteristics.
