You have that Vegan history, which is very iffy for maintaining B12 levels. Not all of 5mg is absorbed you know, so it will just pass thru your digestive system and out into the toilet.
Only about 13mcg get absorbed orally from 1000mcg. That is not a whole lot. I suspect only about 20mcg from the 5mg.
RDA for adults is 2 to 4mcg daily.

MrsD: you're the best. Amazing that so little of the stuff is absorbed. Somebody's making a lot of money here...
But I digress. Sorry to keep asking questions, but I'm very new to all this. Does it make sense to space the 5 mgs out over the course of a day? There will always be hours between meals, maybe break the mgs up to 2-2-1?
Thanks again.
