MENT as a Tren alternative, honest experience reports wanted from anyone who has actually run it

[Davo]

tren and me are done, that is the conclusion after the last blast. ran it at 200mg ace for 8 weeks, body comp was excellent, headspace was awful, second half of the run was unliveable for everyone around me. looking at MENT as the alternative because the reports i keep reading say similar strength without the mental component. honest experience reports wanted from anyone who has actually run it. dosing range you settled on, what the sides were like, was the E2 really as aggressive as people say, and how the hell are people sourcing it in 2026 with everything that has happened to raw supply? not interested in chasing another compound with the same problem in a different wrapper.

Ran MENT at 10mg ED with NPP and test base last off season for 8 weeks. Strength on basic compound lifts went up faster than anything I've tried short of full tren doses, and the sleep stayed intact which was the whole reason for trying it. E2 has to be on lockdown though, this stuff aromatises hard, Mast as your only AI is not enough and you'll feel that fast. Sourcing is the real killer right now, my regular sponsor has been out for months and the few places listing it want stupid money.

MENT supply is tight across the board right now, not just us. Raws are scarce and there's no clear timeline. Will post when that changes.

Worth flagging the injury point on MENT properly. The CNS-driven strength bump can outrun connective tissue capacity quickly at the higher doses, especially on a first run when the tendons have not seen that kind of load before. Keep the loading conservative for the first few weeks and let the joints catch up to what the gear is telling you to lift.

Ran MENT for 8 weeks at 50mg eod alongside test 400. Strength jumped fast like tren but the sleep and aggression were much more manageable. Did not get the night sweats or the appetite kill. The downside is prolactin can creep up quick if you do not run caber alongside, learned that one the hard way.

Ran MENT at 12mg a day alongside npp last winter and the strength came on like tren without the 3am stares at the ceiling, thats the whole appeal for me. The catch nobody stresses enough is how hard it aromatises, mast does nothing for it here, you need real anastrozole on hand and i kept letro in the drawer for a spike. Be careful with the loading too, the cns strength jump outran my tendons and i tweaked an elbow ego lifting in week 3. Only real problem now is finding the stuff, the raw ban has it bone dry across every source i check.

The thing nobody warned me about with trest was the aromatisation. I went in assuming my mast would hold e2 the way it does on a test/mast run and within two weeks I was bloated and short tempered. Proper adex at 0.5 eod sorted it, but keep letro on hand for a spike. Strength was every bit as good as tren for me without the 3am wakeups, but the bar speed jumps faster than your tendons adapt so leave the ego lifts alone. I tweaked an elbow chasing numbers early on because everything felt too easy.
