Ringers has no citric acid in it. When you have silver citrate you don't need assistance in getting it absorbed, silver citrate is quite soluble and is absorbed almost instantaneously anyway. The additional salts may make a slight difference but the 10:1 or so increase in rate would almost certainly be due to the silver citrate being totally dissolved, but the silver chloride being only around 5 to 10% dissolved.

Sounds reasonable, but it's the balance of various salts and sugars that makes Gatoraid absorb so fast. "Ringers Solution" comes to mind..used to re-hydrate people that have Dysentery.

Lactated ringer's solution has no sugars of any kind. That is, the one for IV or subcutaneous use does not. I checked the label (I buy the stuff by the case). But maybe there is an oral version, but googling I did not find one.
