Jona goes beyond a narrow pathogen panel like most other tests. Unlike basic PCR methods, Jona uses deep shotgun sequencing to identify, down to the strain level, all the bacteria, fungi, viruses and other organisms in your sample, usually leading to 10-20x more organisms than other tests. Our AI technology helps you interpret these findings by providing microbiome associations to various conditions and symptoms based on scientific studies. Using our digital twin analysis, Jona simulates what actions your client can take to improve your signatures to those conditions and symptoms and recommends them on the report.  Jona brings all the science to your fingertips, saving you time and providing you the most comprehensive analysis.

We use advanced shotgun metagenomics DNA sequencing of stool samples and sequence bacteria, viruses, pathogens, parasites, fungus and more.  Our proprietary AI algorithms are trained on published microbiome research to identify potential associations and actions.

• No, however, the test is HSA/FSA eligible. Please note that some HSA/FSA benefits coordinators might deny reimbursement – so your client should consider checking first with your benefits coordinator.

Once the sample is returned to the lab, you will receive the results first in the provider portal in about 2-3 weeks.

Your results will be sent electronically securely to your JONA provider account. Make sure you validate your emails and spam from day 1 of your order. We also have a PDF for each report that is next to the “analysis” button and can be downloaded. There are both English and French versions.

We recommend your client to take another microbiome test every 3-6 months especially if they actively change their diet, environment, or are exposed to antibiotics. For those suffering from conditions and symptoms actively trying to improve their health, retesting after implementing their actions is important to understand how their microbiome is improving.
