Proxeronine is the precursor of xeronine molecules, compounds needed by the body for protein assimilation. By drinking noni juice, we absorb proxeronine, xeronine molecules then are produced, which would bind to specific protein molecules in order to function to the optimum level. Not all proteins need xeronine but most protein molecules are not able to function without xeronine. Protein has several significant roles in the body, ranging from basic functions like tissue repair to complex ones such as hormone production, and nutrient transport inside and outside body cells.
