As part of its becoming a multipurpose cooperative, HPPEMC has launched its own eCommerce site, HPP Mart Online where members can get products being carried by the coop at specially discounted rates for members.
Initially, the store contains products made from Stevia, a healthy herbal plant. As previously announced, we have partnered with ANCI (Amazing Nature Care International) to distribute their Stevia products. Given the nature of work of its members where many stay seated in front of the computer for hours, working in shifts, and don't get enough physical activity, HPPEMC has recognized the need to promote these healthy alternatives.
Stevia is a natural sweetener that's 200 times sweeter than sugar but without the negative side effects. It contains zero calories, zero cholesterol, zero sugar, and has zero glycemic index. Studies have shown that Stevia has the following benefits:
- Lowers blood pressure
- Lowers blood sugar levels
- Controls diabetes
- Oral health
- Skin health
- Weight loss
- Cancer prevention
- Lowers cholesterol levels
- Osteoporosis prevention
Currently, HPP Mart Online is exclusive to members only as the system is still in the fine-tuning stage. Members can choose to pay cash, salary deduction, or credit card. Products can be picked up at the HPPEMC !PC and ETON offices or can be delivered*.
The true power of cooperatives is in numbers. Cooperatives leverage on their numbers to be able to offer the best products at the best price to its members. Thus, HPPEMC members are encouraged to patronize the site so more products can be offered at lower prices in the future.
"Our Pomegranate Coffee, for example, is an 'all-in-one' coffee mix. It has the best of supplements and doesn't have the negative effects of sugar. These products are keto-friendly too. So if you are buying 3-in-1s for your households anyway, why not switch to one of our stevia coffees? Not only that you are patronizing our cooperative, but you are also keeping yourself, and your family, healthy in the process.", shared HPPEMC CEO, Val Hilario.
