TRESTOLONE A 100

Description

Trestolone Acetate (often abbreviated MENT) is a potent anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) and a synthetic derivative of nandrolone.
Trestolone (MENT), or 7α-methyl-19-nortestosterone, is an extremely potent anabolic-androgenic steroid from the nandrolone family. Originally researched as a male contraceptive and potential hormone therapy agent, it is now primarily found in the performance enhancement community. Trestolone delivers rapid muscle and strength gains, often far surpassing testosterone in potency, but it also causes complete suppression of natural testosterone production. While it does not aromatize in the traditional sense, its strong progestogenic activity can lead to estrogen-like side effects such as gynecomastia and water retention. Because of its high anabolic power and equally high risk profile, trestolone is generally reserved for advanced and well-monitored use.

Key Facts

• Chemical name: 7α-methyl-19-nortestosterone acetate
• Abbreviation: MENT
• Class: AAS → 19-nor compound (nandrolone family)
• Form: Injectable (acetate ester) or experimental implant form in medical research
• Potency: Considered stronger than testosterone in both anabolic and androgenic activity

Main Features

• Extremely high anabolic and androgenic potency
• Does not require conversion to DHT for androgenic effects (due to 7α-methyl modification)
• Not aromatized into estrogen via the standard pathway — but it does bind to estrogen receptors directly and can have estrogen-like effects, so estrogen management may still be needed
• Suppresses natural testosterone production very strongly — often more than most other AAS

Medical / Research Uses

• Investigated as a male hormonal contraceptive (due to strong suppression of LH & FSH)
• Potential treatment for certain hormone-related disorders
• Not approved for general medical use — remains mostly in research and underground bodybuilding circles

Bodybuilding Use

• Used for rapid size and strength gains
• Typical (non-medical) dose: 25–50 mg daily for short cycles (because acetate ester has a ~2–3 day half-life, injections are usually every day or every other day)
• Often stacked with other compounds but can be used solo due to its strength
• Not for beginners — extremely suppressive and side-effect heavy

Side Effects

• Severe testosterone suppression — full PCT mandatory
• High risk of estrogenic side effects (gyno, water retention, mood swings) despite not aromatizing normally
• Androgenic: hair loss (if genetically prone), acne, aggression
• Cardiovascular strain (cholesterol imbalance, possible BP increase)
• Possible liver strain if oral form is used (rare)
