That is a grey area. AgOH is more active chemicall, but that can actually reduce the effectiveness when taken internally. Here's why. AgOH will react with the HCl in the stomach producing silver chloride, which is almost insoluble, around .8 ppm. Silver citrate is more stable and remains silver citrate when it hits the stomach, and is very soluble, so it moves into the blood stream much more rapidly. That is at least one reason that adding Gaterade was found to improve the effectiveness of CS taken orally. Also you are limited to about 30 ppm max for silver hydroxide, but citrate can be concentrated into the 100's of ppm easily as it is very soluble.

Would you consider silver citrate to be more active/effective than AgOH or
 other Ag+ ions?  The article from NIH seemed to hint at that.

I tried making some as you suggested, by putting some citric acid in
 distilled water and running the current until the pH was 7.  Unfortunately my 
pH
 meter wasn't calibrated, as I discovered later, but I just ran the current for
 a while, and eventually it got to 240 PPM.  I plan to use it to spray
 externally, or maybe internally only if I am trying to fight off a cold or
something. Does that make sense?

Silver citrate and silver nitrate have similar photographic properties,
 although silver nitrate is more sensitive to light. Silver nitrate is also much
 more toxic due to the nitrate component (which forms nitric acid if reduced
 or reacted with salt, whereas silver citric forms mild citric acid if
 reduced).

Marshal
 I have one very small insignificant problem with that statement ( or
 suggestion)about " only silver nitrate does that" .
Where would I have come about getting silver nitrate in my system? I have
 never used High Voltage
Arc system, only 27 volts dc with polarity switching and decant into
 canning jars with lids immediately after the brewing process. Not that it makes
 any difference but I would like to know why you said that.

        silver deposited, anyone know?  Skin has several layers so I'm
        curious to know which layer it is?  Is it under the first or
        second, between the third or fourth etc etc?
         All articles I find relate to silver nitrate or something

    It would have to be in the living layers, thus the dermis,
    essentially where a tattoo is placed.   Probably any and all the
    living layers, but generally EIS does not deposit in the skin,
    only things like silver nitrate do that.
