What is the difference between Probiotics and Commensals

The bacteria under the Probiotics category in Biomesight are also commensals in the human gut. We've split them into 2 categories as follows:
Probiotics - Known probiotics that's also available as supplements (E.g. Akkermansia, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria) and butyrate producers (Faecalibacterium, Roseburia, Ruminicoccus).
Commensals - These are commensals that do not produce Butyrate.
