Probiotics are characterized by comparatively great metabolic activity not only immodulation one, but also when synthesizing some group B vitamin, polyamines and arginine in alimentary canal. These are the factors stimulating erythropoiesis and haemopoiesis. The aim of this work was to investigate the probiotic influence on the red blood cell behavior of 18-19 year-old girls accommodated and fed in boarding school. The group being tested received the probiotic preparations Trilac and Błonnik (Fibre) three times a day for 6 weeks. Initially and after 6 week feed the red blood cell indices were quantified None of the essential statistic alterations of these indices have been discovered after this 6 week probiotic supplementation in comparison to output values. The haematologic characteristics tested stayed within the limits. It is not out of the question that the length of feeding was too short.
