General Information
Every effort was made at the time this flier was prepared to ensure accuracy. We cannot be responsible, however, for manufacturer’s
price changes, for factory and/or supplier shortages, or typographical errors.
We urge you to check on current prices as often as you like. Use the product code numbers whenever possible. The catalog and/or web
site will help you find the code numbers.
Back Orders
During a sale, we cannot automatically “back order” items. If any of the items in your order are temporarily out of stock, we will hold
your entire order for up to three (3) days, awaiting arrival of the missing item(s). If the missing items do not arrive in 3 days, your order will
be shipped as is; the missing items will not be backordered. You may re-order the missing items if you choose.
If you do not want us to hold your order for up to three days, let us know at the time of order, and we will do our best to accomodate
you.
Sale prices and product availability is based upon information provided to us by the various manufacturers and suppliers. Sometimes they
misjudge demand, and cannot provide us with product. No “rain checks.”
Cooperation
During sales, we sometimes fall behind by an extra day or two. It may take a little longer to fill your order. Please do not wait until the
last moment to place your orders. Please plan ahead, and place your order early.
We cannot guarantee delivery dates, as we have no control over what happens to your package after it leaves Willner Chemists. Using
product code numbers when you call or mail in your order will minimize errors. Please try to avoid calling back with “add-on” orders.
Payment Methods
You may use a charge card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express or Discover/NOVUS). Or, you can send payment with your order (check
or money order). We will not charge your card until the order is shipped.
Returns
Merchandise may be returned only if in resalable condition, within 30 days of purchase, with a copy of your receipt. Perishable products
(refrigerated items) are not returnable; books are not returnable.

All stated discounts are based on List Price! ...i.e. 30% refers to 30% off list price, not 30% off our every-day discount price.
Refrigerated Items
Probiotic supplements (acidophilus, etc) and certain other refrigerated items should be kept cold to maintain highest potency. During the
summer, shipping over long distances may subject those items to excessive heat.
We suggest using “Next Day Air” or “Second Day Air” to minimize this problem. There is an additional charge for this service. Also, we
hold those orders until Monday to avoid weekend delays. (Also, another option: certain brands do not require refrigeration until opened.)
Refrigerated items are not returnable. We cannot guarantee conditions during shipment.
NAC Produces Significant
Benefit in Reducing
Irritability in Autistic
Children
Autism is a condition character-
ized by difficulties with social inter-
action, problems with verbal and
nonverbal communication, and
repetitive behaviors or narrow,
obsessive interests that usually
become apparent before a child is
three years old. Autism spectrum or
autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
has three primary forms:
•Classic autism
•Asperger syndrome
•Pervasive developmental disor-
der not otherwise specified (PDD-
NOS).
The cause of autism is extremely
controversial. It does have a strong
genetic component, but like most
health conditions dietary and envi-
ronmental factors play a huge role
in whether the genetic predisposi-
tion manifest. Although controver-
sies surround the various proposed
environmental causes, such as
heavy metals, pesticides, or child-
hood vaccines, there is little doubt
that genetics factors on their own
are insufficient to lead to autism.
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a deriv-
ative of the naturally occurring
amino acid, cysteine. It is used as a
nutritional supplement primarily for
its potential role in boosting tissue
levels of glutathione -a small pro-
tein composed of three amino
acids – cysteine, glutamic acid, and
glycine. Glutathione is an important
antioxidant that is also involved in
detoxification mechanisms. In addi-
tion, NAC has been shown to exert
the following benefits:
• Antioxidant effects – NAC
through boosting glutathione levels
exerts significant antioxidant effecs.
• Bronchial and lung disorders –
NAC has an extensive history of
use as a mucolytic in the treatment
of acute and chronic lung condi-
tions such as emphysema, bronchi-
tis, chronic asthma, and cystic
fibrosis. It improves bronchial and
lung function, reduces cough, and
improves oxygen saturation in the
blood in these conditions.
• Physical endurance – NAC has
been shown to reduce fatigue dur-
ing prolonged exercise.
Based upon several biochemical
mechanisms it appears that NAC
may address some of the key
underlying brain issues in autism.
To test this hypothesis a double-
blind study was conducted in 33
children with autism. The children
receiving NAC were given it a
