Trestolone Acetate (MENT)
A profile on MENT, a synthetic steroid more potent than Trenbolone and Testosterone combined, originally developed as a male contraceptive.
Trestolone Acetate (MENT)
Trestolone Acetate (7-alpha-methyl-19-nortestosterone), commonly known as MENT, is widely considered one of the most potent steroids in existence.
Originally developed as a male contraceptive (because it suppresses LH/FSH so powerfully that it stops sperm production completely), bodybuilders discovered it is an incredibly effective mass builder—often described as a mix of Trenbolone and Testosterone without the mental side effects of Tren.

Mechanism of Action
MENT is a 19-nor derivative (like Deca/Tren) but with a 7-alpha-methyl group.
- Potency: It binds to the androgen receptor stronger than Testosterone and even Trenbolone.
- Aromatization: Unlike Tren, MENT does aromatize. In fact, it converts to 7-alpha-methyl-estradiol, a unique estrogen that is biologically very potent.
Pharmacokinetics & Dosing
Half-Life: ~1-2 Days
- Frequency: Daily or Every Other Day (EOD).
- Dosage: MENT is active at extremely low doses.
- Beginner: 5-10mg per day.
- Advanced: 25-50mg per day.
- Warning: Doses above 50mg/day are uncharted territory for most and carry high risk of estrogenic unmanageability.
Primary Effects
1. Rapid Mass
Gains are comparable to high-dose Trenbolone or Anadrol. It fills muscles out quickly.
2. No "Test Base" Needed?
Uniquely, MENT is capable of maintaining male physiological functions (libido, energy) on its own, without a Testosterone base. It is the only steroid capable of this.
3. Strength
Extreme strength gains are common within the first week.
Side Effects & Harm Reduction
Estrogen Management:
The Gyno Risk: MENT converts to 7-alpha-methyl-estradiol. This estrogen is resistant to Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs). Users often find that standard Arimidex doses do not work. Gyno can flare up overnight. Keeping a SERM (Raloxifene/Nolvadex) and a strong AI (Letrozole) on hand is mandatory.
1. Fertility
It was designed as a contraceptive. It will shut down sperm production faster and harder than any other compound. Recovery of fertility may take longer.
2. Blood Pressure
Due to rapid water retention and potency, BP can spike.
3. Libido
While it supports libido, fluctuations in the unique estrogen it produces can sometimes kill libido if not dialed in perfectly.
Tracking MENT
Using the Anabolic Tracker app:
- Inventory: Add Trestolone Acetate.
- Scheduling: Daily.
- Metrics: Track Blood Pressure and Water Retention closely.
- Notes: Log nipple sensitivity daily. This is the first warning sign of MENT estrogen issues.
