The result was redirect to Probiotic. One could also redirect to hygiene but the argument for the other target is a touch better. People can discuss (and also implement) changes on the talk page or at WP:RFD Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:50, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have read a few of the google scholar hits and the term seems to be ill-defined and either being synonymous to Probiotics or meaning, loosely speaking, things that are eaten. One of the articles sources [1], while not stating it in a straightforward manner, gives a list of things that are eubiotic: "a) Probiotics, b) Direct Acting Gut Flora Modulators, and c) Prebiotics". Other, more recent sources, use the term rather as things promoting eubiosis [2] or "Products that affect microbiota balance in the gastrointestinal tract" [3] (i.e., are eaten). --Lpd-Lbr (talk) 18:31, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
