Description:
Trestolone (7alpha-methyl-19-nor testosterone, MENT), also known as trestolone acetate, is a derivative of 19-nortestosterone. Originally investigated as a potential male contraceptive, trestolone offers unique properties that differentiate it from other compounds. Unlike testosterone, it cannot bind to 5alpha-reductase and convert to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This characteristic makes it an appealing candidate for an androgen-based contraceptive.
While trestolone is highly anabolic, with a theoretical ratio of 2300-650 compared to testosterone, studies in rats have shown its anabolic potency to be approximately 10 times greater than testosterone. However, it also exhibits strong suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis (HTPA), being 12 times more suppressive than testosterone.
The unique alpha-methyl group on trestolone's structure prevents it from converting to DHT, but it can still aromatize and exert androgen-dependent effects similar to testosterone. Despite being a nandrolone derivative, trestolone demonstrates minimal affinity for progesterone and mineralocorticoid receptors.
Medical applications of trestolone include male contraception, management of rapid bone loss, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, primary hypogonadism, cachexia, sarcopenia, and male pattern alopecia.
Effects:
- Extremely anabolic compound, 10 to 23 times more anabolic than testosterone
- Powerful for promoting fat loss and muscle growth
- Increase in strength and muscle mass
- Does not bind to SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin)
- No conversion to DHT
- No significant increases in hematocrit or hemoglobin
- Rapid effects
- Elevated appetite
Side effects:
- Significant rise in systolic blood pressure
- Rapid estrogen conversion
- Dry throat
- Excessive sweating
- Upset stomach
- Diarrhea
- Heartburn
- Back acne
- Insomnia
- Night sweats
- Mood fluctuations
It is strongly recommended to use an aromatase inhibitor, such as Arimidex or letrozole, alongside trestolone to manage estrogen conversion.
Users may experience an increased appetite and a slight boost in gym strength. To counter the conversion to 7a-methyl estradiol, a dose of 1.25mg of letrozole every other day is advised.
Dosage:
- Beginner: 100 mg per week
- Intermediate: 200 mg per week
- Advanced: 300 mg per week
Start with a dosage of 100 mg per week and evaluate your body's response. If well-tolerated, gradual increases up to 300 mg per week can be considered.
