MENT is basically impossible to source right now, anyone found an alternative with a similar profile?

MENT supply situation is becoming untenable. Have sourced trestolone acetate from three different channels over the past 12 months and two have gone completely dark. The raw material restrictions from China have hit this compound particularly hard. For those who have been using MENT as a tren alternative - what are you running instead? Looking for something with a similar strength-to-headspace ratio without the nandrolone prolactin burden. The unique value of MENT was exactly that it delivered tren-like strength without the aggression and sleep destruction.

MENT was specifically valued because it delivered strength comparable to tren without the psychological cost - no aggression, no sleep destruction, no anxiety. That profile is genuinely difficult to replace. NPP handles the mass and joint support angle but lacks the MENT strength response at equivalent doses. A Dbol kickstart at 30-40mg for the first 4 weeks covers the wet strength gap but the combined effect isn't the same. If you can still find trestolone from a reliable source the supply crunch makes sourcing painful but the compound still stands alone in its category.

The raw material supply for trestolone acetate from Chinese manufacturers has been effectively cut. The AP Trestolone Blend was in very limited stock when I last checked six months ago. For a stack that covered the MENT use case I have moved to test E 500mg plus NPP 400mg plus 4 weeks Tbol 40mg as a kickstart. It does not replicate MENT exactly but it covers the mass and strength objectives without the availability problem. The aromatization management that MENT required was significant anyway - Anastrozole was mandatory at any meaningful MENT dose.

The supply situation for MENT in Germany matches what you're describing. Two suppliers I used previously have both gone quiet in the last six months. The NPP plus Tbol suggestion is what I've moved to as well. Not identical results but it covers the mass and strength goals without the sourcing problem. The AI requirement on MENT was always demanding - Anastrozole mandatory and you had to stay on top of it.

MENT aromatises at a rate approximately five times higher than testosterone so the AI requirement is not optional - Anastrozole rather than Masteron, the latter is insufficient at MENT doses. The dosing range is wide: 5-25mg per day for most users up to 50mg for aggressive mass phases. Supply is genuinely constrained by the raw material situation. The most pharmacologically similar alternative I can suggest is a combination of NPP for the anabolic base plus a short Dbol run for wet strength - neither replicates the unique tren-like headspace profile of MENT but it covers the physiological goals adequately.
