In today's society, more and more young people are starting to have pets. Some people love dogs, some people love cats, and the latest data shows that the number of pet cats and dogs in mainland China has exceeded 110 million.
In 2020, the number of pet owners in the mainland exceeded 60 million, and in 2021, the number of pet owners in the mainland reached 68.44 million, of which nearly half of the pet owners are "post-90s".
For the post-90s, dog ownership is no longer "fragrant", the number of young "cat slaves" is increasing year by year, and they used to love petting dogs, and now sucking cats is more popular.
The "2022 China Pet Consumption Report" shows that the number of domestic cat owners has grown steadily and continued to rise, forming a rapid growth trend. The size of the cat market increased by 16.1% year-on-year. There are more "cat slaves" than "dog owners", and the "cat economy" is leading the consumption upgrade of China's pet market.
The lifespan of pets is usually very short, the average lifespan of cats is usually only 14 years, while the lifespan of pet dogs is less than 2 years less than that of cats, and the average lifespan of pet dogs is only 12 years.
Pet cats and dogs are fragile in life, and they face the threat of disease too early, such as incomplete care, inconsiderate care, and they are prone to illness.
Pets age faster than people! Pet cats and dogs are equivalent to 7 years old, pet cats and dogs enter adulthood at the age of 2-4, and after 6 years old, they enter the middle and old age.
Most of the Z generation has begun to raise pets in the past 5 years, and the age of pets is mostly concentrated in 2-6 years old, and as time goes by, the proportion of elderly pets is increasing, and mainland pets will usher in the "aging tide".
Maybe you have a cat that's older than your age! Although human beings cannot see their own reincarnation, they can witness a complete reincarnation of life from birth to death from pets!
Studies have proved that pets have many benefits, not only can improve the level of health, but also improve the quality of life, human beings can only better enjoy life by taking care of pets and respecting its life value.
Pets are gradually aging, and the era of pet anti-aging has arrived. The emergence of fullerenes has brought good news to the pet world.
Many people are unfamiliar with the name "fullerene", does it sound full of technology?
Fullerene sounds high-tech, and from a chemical point of view, it is just an "allotrope" of carbon.
Maybe you haven't heard of fullerene, but you must have heard of graphite, diamond, graphene. In fact, fullerenes, like graphite, diamond, and graphene, are allotropes composed of carbon atoms, and they come from the same family - the carbon family.
The discovery of fullerenes is legendary. This miraculous material, which was originally not found on Earth but is widely present in outer space, was accidentally discovered in 1985 by astrophysicists in Britain and the United States while studying the composition of cosmic nebulae.
When scientists simulated the high-vacuum, high-energy environment of the Cosmic Nebula in the laboratory, using high-energy lasers to sputter graphite placed in the vacuum chamber environment, they accidentally found a full-carbon molecule with an ultra-stable structure similar to a football shape, composed of five-membered rings and six-membered rings - this material is the fullerene, later known as the "nano prince", known as "God's gift".
Fullerenes are football-like molecules made up of 60 or more carbon atoms, or C60 for short. Since the discovery of fullerenes, because of its perfect structure, it has received extensive attention from the material community, because of its extremely wide range of uses and superior properties, the three discoverers of fullerenes in the United Kingdom, Kroto (Curl) and Smalley in the United States won the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry 11 years later.
At the beginning, as a new type of carbon nanomaterial, fullerenes were mainly used in advanced manufacturing fields such as superconductivity, solar cells, catalysis, optics, and polymer materials.
In the field of biomedicine, scientists have found and verified that fullerenes can be used by organisms by oral administration, smearing, injection, etc., and fullerenes can be made into health products and animal food additives.
The biomedical application of fullerenes began with cosmetics. In 1990, fullerene C60 made a breakthrough in the research and application of cosmetics.
Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation conducted in-depth research on the antioxidant activity of fullerenes and found that the antioxidant capacity of fullerenes is 172 times that of Vc, and its antioxidant activity is far stronger than general antioxidants, such as isoflavones, auxiliary Q10, rutin, Vc derivatives, etc.
Fullerenes have bio-antioxidant activity, and their special cage-like structure makes it particularly easy to absorb electrons and have a strong ability to react with free radicals.
Fullerene through the adsorption of free radicals, to achieve antioxidant, its ability to scavenge free radicals can be like a sponge to absorb water, super ability and large capacity, can quickly remove skin free radicals, known as "free radical sponge".
In 2012, the research team of Professor Fathi Moussa of the University of Paris-Sud in France mixed fullerenes in olive oil for mouse feeding experiments. Tests with C60 mice have shown that fullerene olive oil can extend the original life span of mice from 2-3 years to 5.5 years, extending the life of mice by as much as 90%!
At the snap of a finger, 20 years have passed. With the acceleration of the industrialization process of fullerenes, fullerenes, which were originally more expensive than diamonds and cost hundreds of thousands of kilograms, have stepped down the altar and gradually become close to the people.
The boon of the pet world is here!
In 2023, with the theme of pet anti-aging, the pet anti-aging brand "Scott" containing fullerene ingredients will be born.
Let technology fill the temperature and make the companionship longer.
Fullerene pet anti-aging nutrition "Scott" will open a new era of pet anti-aging with the power of science and technology!
