Keep warm and Ca++ : Calcium channel blockers are the most common medication that physicians use to treat the symptoms of raynauds. The main drawback is the side effects from these medicines. Keeping your hands and feet warm remains the best treatment.

No supplemetns: No supplements are known to affect the course of raynauds. See a vascular surgeon with interest in this disease. You can call your local hospital physician referral service to find one.

Yes, proven to help!: Many supplements have the potential to help raynaud's (some proven by research). The first i would try is magnesium, esp. Magnesium taurate. Natural vit e with mixed tocopherols might help. L-arginine is a good vasodilator. Vitamin c may help. Niacin, gingko & fish oil have all been proven to help.
