Neither! Ringer's solution is specifically formulated to be isotonic with the body fluids of a particular taxa (ie. mammals, reptiles, teleost fishes, etc.).

For example, a mammalian Ringer's solution (useful on everything from lab mouse tissues to human blood samples) is isotonic at an osmolarity of about 0.3 OsM.
