Disclosed herein are DNA constructs and biological devices comprising S. cerevisiae cells and extracts and lysates produced therefrom, wherein the DNA constructs encode genes for complete proteins including, but not limited to, casein, ovalbumin or a fragment thereof, lactalbumin, and glycomacropeptide (GMP). The extracts and lysates from these devices can be used alone in oral dosage forms for nutritional supplementation or can be used in combination with other lysates and extracts containing vitamins such as carotenoids, organic electrolytes, flavorants such as steviol glycosides, and the like. Also disclosed herein are oral dosage forms including sublingual and buccal dosage forms comprising the disclosed extracts and lysates. In some aspects, the disclosed lysates and extracts can be encapsulated in hydrogel microparticles in order to facilitate absorption. In some aspects, the disclosed extracts and lysates can be added to food and beverage products to improve the nutritional profiles of the same.
