MENT, also known as methylnortestosterone acetate or trestolone acetate, is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) designed to provide extremely high potency compared to traditional compounds. It's often said to be 23 times more potent than testosterone and 4 times more potent than trenbolone acetate on a milligram-for-milligram basis. Its anabolic-to-androgenic (A:A) ratio is reported to be approximately 2300:650—far exceeding the classic steroid Danabol (Dianabol), which has a ratio of about 33:1.

 

Potency and Characteristics

Potency: 23x stronger than testosterone; 4x stronger than trenbolone acetate

Anabolic/Androgenic Ratio: ~2300:650

Chemical Name: Methylnortestosterone Acetate (Trestolone Acetate)

 

Effective Dosage

Men: ~10 mg per day is typically cited as an effective dosage.

Women: Not recommended due to its highly androgenic nature.

 

Pharmacokinetics

Half-life: Approximately 8 to 12 hours, which typically necessitates at least daily administration.

Detection Time: Currently unknown or not well-documented.

 

Estrogenic Activity

Unlike many nandrolone-derived compounds, MENT aromatizes more like testosterone, meaning it can convert to estrogen. This property can lead to estrogen-related side effects such as water retention, gynecomastia, or increased blood pressure if estrogen control is not implemented.

 

Potential Side Effects

Due to its extremely high androgenic and estrogenic potential, MENT comes with a wide range of side effects:

Androgenic: Acne, accelerated hair loss in those genetically predisposed to male-pattern baldness, and increased body hair growth.

Cardiovascular: Potential negative effects on cholesterol profiles (decreased HDL, increased LDL), which can increase cardiovascular risk if not managed.

Estrogenic: A higher risk of estrogen-related side effects compared to nandrolone derivatives.

 

MENT (trestolone acetate) is an exceptionally potent anabolic steroid with powerful anabolic and androgenic activity. Its strength and its ability to aromatize like testosterone make it a compound with both serious benefits and significant risks. Due to its potency and severe side effect profile, it is not recommended for women and should be used with extreme caution by men.
