Sodium ascorbate and calcium ascorbate found in nutritional supplements may turn into ascorbic acid in the digestive system and their molecular structure may change according to changing pH values. Ascorbic acid is obtained by reducing its oxidized form, dihydroascorbic acid. It helps functions such as collagen synthesis, wound healing, skin rejuvenation in the skin.
