Trestolone (MENT)

Ester: Acetate (most common). Very short ester requiring daily or twice-daily injection. No-ester (TNE-style) formulations also exist.

Dosage:

• Low / TRT-replacement trial: 5-10mg/day (acetate)
• Enhancement: 10-25mg/day for 8-12 weeks
• Advanced: 25-50mg/day (significantly increases side effect risk)

Injection Protocol:

• Inject daily (acetate ester) — SubQ with insulin syringe is practical at these low volumes
• IM also viable: 27-30g needle, delts/VG

Key Notes:

• One of the most potent AAS by mg — effective doses are very low compared to testosterone
• Aromatises to 7-alpha-methyl-estradiol which does NOT show on standard E2 immunoassays — you must use LC-MS/MS estradiol testing to monitor
• Can serve as a testosterone replacement (maintains libido, mood, erectile function) but long-term safety data is limited
• 19-nor derivative: may elevate prolactin — have Cabergoline on hand
• No DHT conversion means less hair loss and prostate impact, but also no DHT-mediated neurological benefits
• Very suppressive to HPTA — aggressive PCT required
