Dextrose

Dextrose is a simple sugar, also known as glucose, that serves as an essential source of energy for the body. It is a carbohydrate that is quickly absorbed and metabolized, providing a rapid source of glucose to cells for immediate energy needs. Dextrose is commonly used in medical settings as an intravenous (IV) infusion to rapidly increase blood sugar levels in cases of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or to provide energy support during surgery or other procedures.
In addition to its use as an IV infusion, dextrose is also used in the food industry as a sweetener and as a stabilizer in various products. Dextrose should be used with caution in individuals with diabetes or those who are at risk of developing high blood sugar levels, as it can lead to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).
