Small microbes. Mighty innovations.

We’ve unlocked a new microbial key to support the journey of maturing health.

Scientific process

Microbe Isolation

Using Microscape Technology™, our scientists isolate the microbes naturally found in fruits and vegetables to develop safe, plant-derived solutions for age-related health conditions.

Cultivation

After harvesting and cultivating the microbes, our team isolates and categorizes each unit, adding it to our state-of-the-art microbial library housing the thousands of strains that we study.

Research

We use advanced scientific methods like DNA sequencing to study how these microbes can help improve specific aging health conditions and pioneer a better aging experience for us all.

Development

Using novel techniques, we rigorously test the most effective strains and combine them to create innovative formulas that address our target health conditions with a better path to aging.

Preclinical Testing

We first evaluate the safety and effectiveness of these microbes by conducting preclinical testing and designing a human clinical trial, all using the same rigor as pharmaceutical testing—the gold standard in scientific validation.

Clinical Trial

After developing each powerful formulation, we validate its effectiveness through clinical testing with the same rigor as pharmaceutical products. We also ensure it meets the highest safety standards by obtaining the generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status.

Journa is the consumer brand of clinical-stage biotechnology company Solarea Bio. We’re harnessing the previously-untapped microbiota found on fruits and vegetables to advance human health outcomes and on a mission to pioneer breakthrough health solutions that help address some of the world’s most pervasive age-related health conditions.

After years of development, our first product Bondia™ is on a mission to make the future of bone health stronger than ever.
Bondia™’s clinical trial has been completed and is currently pending peer review & publication.

How Bondia™ slows bone loss
3
Bondia™

Bondia™'s synbiotic formulation slows the speed at which osteoclasts break down bone, helping to improve the ratio of bone building to bone breakdown. Daily use of Bondia™ is clinically validated to slow bone loss as you age.

Bone
Loss

As we age, our osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) are not able to keep up with our osteoclasts (cells that break down bone), leading to bone loss.

Bone
Turnover

Our bones are a living tissue, and in a constant state of renewal. Cells called osteoclasts continually break down old bone, while osteoblasts replace it with newer tissue to ensure strong and healthy bones.

Preclinical results of Bondia™

Preclinical Trial Results

Results of Bondia™

Through preclinical testing, Bondia™ was shown to reduce bone loss by 40-60%. Bondia™ was also validated to improve bone maintenance and reduce osteoclastic production.

Bondia™

Bondia™ is a synbiotic medical food taken twice-daily, formulated with plant-derived probiotics to slow bone loss for better days ahead.
