530 is rather borderline. So I'd do 5mg of methylB12 daily on an empty stomach for 3 months. Then get checked again.

If you are over 1000 then you can cut back to 1mg a day.
At 1mg a day you absorb about 13mcg passively from that dose.
Enough to keep going, but not really high enough to fix things
that may be running poorly. B12 gets stored in the liver and crosses into the cerebral spinal fluid quite a bit, so when you are really low then those areas can take up alot of each dose. Once you hit a steady state there and in the tissues, then you can maintain
at lower dosing. But basically 5mg is not a whole lot daily either, and since B12 is rather benign it won't be harmful to continue with it at that level either. That part is up to you.
