Trestolone Acetate Research Guide
Full name: Trestolone Acetate (MENT)
A highly potent synthetic 19-nortestosterone derivative (MENT, 7-alpha-methyl-19-nortestosterone) investigated as a male contraceptive and hormone replacement. Extremely androgenic and anabolic. Educational reference only.
How Trestolone Acetate Works
MENT has a 7-alpha-methyl group that prevents 5-alpha-reduction, so it stays highly active in tissues without converting to DHT. It is many times more potent than testosterone, aromatizes to estrogen, and strongly suppresses gonadotropins (its contraceptive basis).
Dosing Protocol
- Typical dose: Very potent; low absolute doses
- Frequency: Daily to every other day (acetate)
- Duration: Cycled or investigational
- Route: Intramuscular injection or subdermal implant

- Strong estrogen conversion (gyno)
- Strong testosterone/fertility suppression
- Adverse lipids
