The user has been taking 1mg finasteride daily for a year with no improvement in hair loss and reports low cortisol levels, sleep issues, and anxiety changes. The conversation includes discussions on the potential effects of finasteride on cortisol and neurosteroids, with suggestions to consult a doctor and consider other factors.

Finasteride is recommended for hair loss, while biotin is considered ineffective and unnecessary. Minoxidil is also suggested, and biotin pills are preferred over injections due to cost and absorption concerns.

Biotin may strengthen existing hair and reduce hair loss, but it doesn't promote new hair growth. Some users report stronger, darker hair, while others see no benefits or experience acne.

Biotin and Keratin shampoos are discussed for hair health and growth. Users suggest shampoos alone don't significantly aid hair growth.

The conversation discusses concerns about weight gain potentially linked to biotin, saw palmetto, and pumpkin seed supplements, with users generally doubting the supplements are the cause. One user stopped taking saw palmetto due to side effects but did not notice improved results.
