Major attention was paid within last 20-30 years to the possibility of improving a health status of man by a modulation of intestinal microflora. Intestinal microflora has a great metabolic activity, it changes during life and is an important factor influencing individual’s health. The significance of these microorganisms was omitted for a long time and the interest was nearly solely focus on pathogenic microorganisms, which are causes of different gastrointestinal disorders.

Keywords: Key words: intestinal microflora, prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics.
