[NexTech](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aritize-configurator), a company specializing in building virtual and augmented reality experiences, has launched a new e-commerce site and [AR-based feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-bs-motivator-experience) for TruLyfe, a supplement brand owned by the company.

The new AR feature, called 'Genie in a Bottle,' is a unique hologram experience. Customers scan QR codes on select supplment bottles, triggering the appearance of a [3D human dietitian in hologram form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-perfume-shop-holographic-technology) who aptly details the nutritional information of said supplement. Currently, the feature is available with three Trulyfe products: Tru- C Gummies, Tru - Turmeric +, and rTu - Elderberry + Gummies.

'Genie in a Bottle' is an example of a supplement company adapting to the demands of its demographic – health-conscious prosumers who take the time to inspect ingredient lists and conduct background research. By putting a registered dietician right in front of its customers, the company looks to build trust and gain authority within the competitive supplement market.
