About this test

Analyze bacteria, fungi, parasites, and more to uncover insights about digestion, metabolism, brain health, and beyond. Powered by AI, results are compared to the latest scientific research to identify evidence-based associations with symptoms and conditions, plus personalized diet, lifestyle, and probiotic recommendations tailored to you.

  • Analyzes your gut microbiome
  • Identifies microbes linked to health associations
  • Delivers personalized diet, lifestyle, and probiotic insights
  • Identifies 170,000+ microorganisms from DNA

For adults who want deeper insights into their gut health. Not recommended if you’re pregnant or under 18.

AI-powered gut health insights

Deeper insights, straight from the source

  • 170,000+microorganisms that may be present in your gut microbiome, identified from DNA.
  • 220,000+scientific articles analyzed by AI to discover associations to conditions and symptoms.

AI helps decode your gut microbiome

Translating data into meaningful health insights.

Jona uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing, which measures not only bacteria, but also fungi, viruses, archaea, and parasites, then uses digital twin technology to find which diet, lifestyle, and probiotic changes might improve your gut microbiome.

The association information in your Jona Microbiome analysis reflects the level of similarity between your unique microbiome profile and patterns linked in research to each of the listed health concerns. These are research-based only. They are not diagnostic, predictive or proof of causation.

Who should take this test?

Your microbiome can influence digestion, metabolism, immune health, skin health, mood, and more. Analyzing it may help identify imbalances that could be connected to symptoms such as:

Stomach

  • Digestive discomfort, bloating or gas, irregular bowel habits, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, or reflux.

Body

  • Fatigue or low energy, metabolic concerns, skin issues, poor recovery or low stamina, or chronic pain.

Mind

  • Anxiety, low mood, or sleep issues.

    The microbiome refers to all the organisms that live inside or on your body. These organisms comprise bacteria, fungi, viruses, and more. The microbiome has been shown to play a crucial role in overall health, having been linked to a wide variety of diseases, symptoms, digestion, fitness performance, and healthy aging.

    Jona uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing, which can identify bacteria, fungi and viruses at the strain level. Many microbiome tests identify a limited number of microbial species. Jona’s sequencing can identify over 170,000 microorganisms from DNA.

    Jona’s AI acts more like a bridge to the broader scientific community, summarizing what is known about associations to your specific microbiome from over 220,000 scientific studies, including how specific actions can change your microbiome.

    Standard 16S and 18S sequencing have been used to identify bacteria and ITS sequencing has been used to identify fungi. These sequencing techniques, though less expensive, can only identify certain organisms and are often unable to distinguish different strains of a species. Strain level identification is increasingly important as the scientific literature is showing that two different strains of the same species can affect someone’s health quite differently.

    Jona uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing, a comprehensive DNA sequencing method used to identify and analyze all the genetic material from a community of organisms (like the gut microbiome) simultaneously. The name comes from the “shotgun” approach: instead of targeting a specific gene, the entire pool of DNA from a sample is “shattered” into millions of tiny random fragments, sequenced, and then digitally stitched back together. These sequences are then compared against massive databases to identify which species and strains they belong to, and their associated impact on the body.

    However, results should be discussed with your healthcare provider and considered as one part of your overall health plan picture.

    The human gut typically contains 200 to 500 microbial species, but trillions of individual organisms. Jona can identify over 170,000 microorganisms from DNA.
