What is Trestolone (MENT)?
Trestolone, also known as MENT (7α-methyl-19-nortestosterone), is a synthetic anabolic steroid originally developed as a male contraceptive and potential testosterone replacement therapy. It is one of the most potent androgens ever created, many times stronger than testosterone by weight. It never made it to mainstream medicine, but it has found a strong following in performance and physique circles.
Quick Facts

| Half-life | ~8 hours (acetate ester) |
| Form | Injectable oil |
| Dose (Men) | 10–50 mg per day (daily injections typical) |
| Dose (Women) | Not recommended |
| Detection Time | Approx. 6–12 months |
| Anabolic Rating | ~2300 |
| Androgenic Rating | ~650 |
How Does It Work?
Trestolone binds to androgen receptors with extreme affinity — far stronger than testosterone. It does not need to convert to DHT to be active, and it works directly in muscle tissue to drive rapid protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. It does aromatise, so estrogen management is important while using it.
What It's Used For
- Rapid muscle mass and strength gains in bulking phases
- Short, aggressive cycles where maximum anabolic output is the goal
- Used by advanced users as a replacement for testosterone during a cycle due to its suppressive nature
What to Expect
Users typically report very fast increases in size and strength, often within the first week or two. Fullness and pumps are pronounced, and overall body weight can climb quickly. Because of its potency, even small doses produce noticeable effects.
Possible Side Effects
- Strong estrogen-related effects including water retention and gynecomastia — an aromatase inhibitor is essential
- Severe suppression of natural testosterone production — full PCT is required post-cycle
- Increased blood pressure, aggression, acne, and potential strain on lipid levels
Cycle & Dosage Notes
Cycles are typically kept short — 4 to 6 weeks — due to the compound's intensity. Daily injections are needed because of the short half-life of the acetate ester. A thorough PCT using both a SERM and support compounds is strongly advised after use, as suppression is among the heaviest of any compound available.
Storage
Keep at room temperature (15–25°C), away from light and moisture. Leave in the original packaging.
