“…EL entails vitamin deficiencies that require supplementation, and thus vitamins are administered as a commercial multivitamin supplement composed of vitamins C, A, E, K and the B complex (B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , B 6 , B 7 , B 9 , B 12 ) [ 79 ]. The literature includes a series of considerations with respect to SPN and vitamins: (a) there is no conclusive evidence of or studies on the possible benefit of vitamin D, although there are studies that associate it with a decrease in mortality and mechanical ventilation time; (b) vitamin C is unstable, susceptible to oxidation reactions and is usually associated with neuropathy, hemolysis and hyperglycemia phenomena [ 80 , 81 ]; (c) B group vitamins are involved in reducing fatigue syndrome [ 82 ]; (d) vitamin supplementation is justified in terms of nutritional requirements to improve immune function, regulate hypercatabolism and exert an antioxidant action, but if it is provided too early, it can have adverse effects such as prolonging the ICU stay and the risk of infections [ 83 ]; (e) ASPEN and ESPEN clinical practice guidelines refer to the need to supplement PN with vitamins in critical condition, but there is no consensus or evidence on timing, clinical criteria or protocols in EL [ 84 ].…”
