Disclosed herein is method for increasing vitamin B12 levels in a subject comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising: at least one strain of bacteria wherein the at least one strain of bacteria comprises Propionibacterium freudenreichii UF (UF1). In certain embodiments, the UF1 is probiotic. In certain implementations, the administration of the composition increases the subject's serum B12 levels by at least about 10% relative to the subject's serum B12 level prior to administration of the composition. In further embodiments, the administration of the composition confers at least on benefit on the subject selected from; an increase in serum levels of at least one of vitamin B2, B5, B6, B9, and/or B12; an increase in at least one of tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine; increased propionic acid, immune system modulation and/or augmentation, regulation of TH17 cells; and/or reduction in pro-inflammatory metabolites.
