Should water-soluble vitamins be added to glucose solution or saline?

Water-soluble vitamins can be administered in two ways: added to glucose solution or saline. Although both methods are usable, adding them to glucose solution is preferable. The specific reasons are as follows:

First, glucose solution has a clear advantage in nutritional support because it provides substantial calories and energy. Therefore, glucose solution is the better choice when supplementing water-soluble vitamins. Additionally, glucose is absorbed more rapidly by the body, allowing quicker entry into the bloodstream. In contrast, while the salt content in saline also contributes somewhat to nutritional support, it may potentially harm the body and thus is not a safe or effective method of supplementation.

Because glucose solution provides abundant calories and energy, it not only supports nutrition but also helps clarify and improve the patient's condition. Saline, however, does not provide additional calories or energy, and therefore cannot effectively enhance the patient’s immune system to prevent the onset of various diseases. Finally, glucose solution is more effective than saline in improving physiological function. The salt in saline, if consumed in large amounts, can systematically reduce a patient’s vitality. Glucose solution, on the other hand, is quickly absorbed by the body and effectively enhances physiological function, leading to better therapeutic outcomes.

When administering, it is important to maintain an appropriate dosage to avoid excessive intake, which could diminish the effectiveness of nutritional supplementation and physiological improvement.
