Hair loss evidence topical Dutasteride, topical Finasteride mixed with Minoxidil, oral Minoxidil, Saw Palmetto, pumpkin seeds?

Phenomenal498657
Recently started topical Minoxidil 5% and 0.25% Finasteride as didn't want to take the oral Finasteride. Is that the best option? Or, is topical Dutasteride a good option with strong evidence? Any evidence on saw palmetto, pumpkin seeds..etc? And what dose have strong evidence as they are plenty of different info on the web? Thanks a lot doctors and stay safe!
