Gold ions could well be reduced and precipitate out in the liver or kidneys, building up. They could also exist as organic gold molecules in the body.

It looks like this isn't a super well-studied bit of chemistry.

It looks like it. Apparently gold helps the joints and transmission of electrical signals in the body from a study I've read.

How do you know there is no gold in the food or water you are drinking? 0.2 mg is a very small amount.
