JD’s Reliv Story

Basketball is my passion. When I was 15 years old, I was playing basketball, and I went up to dunk the ball, and heard a rip in my knee. I had extreme pain just below my kneecap. I was told I was too young for surgery, because my bones were still soft. I would have to grow out of it. I knew of several other players who had had the same injury. That summer, I played in the AYBT with knee pain. I was feeling very discouraged and felt like my basketball career was over. I couldn’t run and jump like I used to. No college scholarships. In the fall I decided to stay in my homeschool league instead of playing in the local high school. Shortly after, someone told me about a college athlete who had hurt her ankle and was going to lose her scholarship until she found Reliv. So I tried it. In one week I was already feeling much better, and in two weeks I could run and jump and dunk the ball again. The rest of my body felt better too.
