Timed release is not a great formulation. Immediate release is better. There is only one area of the small intestine that absorbs regularly.
What you have is not harmful, but not spectacular either.
Your test results are borderline.
You can buy another form, preferably the methyl if you can get it, or use this up and replace it with the better type.
Take it on an empty stomach for best results.
If you have intact intrinisic factor, it will help more be absorbed.
You can get retested in 3 months. If there is no change it is because of the "timed release".
