New Prohormone: Mentabolan

[IamAlex]

I'm quite curious about this. I really couldn't dig any info up on it, and I'm hoping someone knows more than I do.

where the f have you been?

I asked that a little while ago and I think V told me its supposed to convert to cheque drops. I could be wrong though.

This is essentially a steroidal precursor of a synthetic androgen called trestolone.  Trestolone has been researched as a potential male contraceptive agent because it appears to inhibit testosterone function and development.  The anabolic properties that PHF is speaking are from in vivo studies done with rats.  We aren't rats you guys.  Besides that, personally I wouldn't want to take something that makes me infertile in such a manner as to inhibit testosterone.  The compound has been shown to have a high androgenic receptor binding affinity, suggesting that it may exhibit favorable anabolic effects.  Still, this is a compound I would not want to experiment with even if I was an experienced ph user.

Yeah I had read that it had something to do with Cheque Drops, which is some hardcore stuff, but apparently that is erroneous.

It is the prohormone to tretolone, as stated by War. Trestolone is the 17a-methylated version of nandrolone. The infamous Deca. This is the 7a-dimethylated version of Deca.

So lets look at the nomenclature:

7a-dimethly-19nortestosterone

19nor should stand out, that means that it is nandrolone type compound. Think deca, not test pros and cons. On the phf site it compares this and Boladrol: Bola is the 7a-dimethyl version of methyl testosterone, Menta is the 7a-dimethyl version of nandrolone (Deca). The 17a-methyl version of nandrolone would be the aforementioned trestolone.

Ok sides are easy since this is a 19-nor: potential libido and erection issues, very quick shutdown of the HPTA (testosterone production, thus the male contraception thing...which I'll get to in a second).

Yeah so the information in vivo was done on rats and rabbits...I hate to say it but this isn't news. Most of us know, or should know, that we take these risks when taking steroids.

As far as the contraception thing goes- yeah well taking ANYTHING that shuts down the HPTA, including Hdrol all the way up to testosterone ester by injection can cause your body to not produce sperm. All of these compounds are going to inhibit testosterone function and development, its the nature of the beast. I have even seen articles where they were discussing at some point using HRT dose testosterone replacement for male contraception, since it is apparently very very difficult to reproduce while your body is not producing testosterone, even though exogenous sources exist. I know it was discussed, obviously they don't do this...

Positives- well if it is dosed correctly and converts to the target steroid enough, you will probably get the same 19-nor pros as you will sides. Some water, a bulker, great strength, excellent muscle building. Basically Deca.

That being said, I'm not going to try it. I'd rather just get something that has been used safely for decades and decades....and is a proven muscle builder, if I am going to go the 19-nor route.....Plus this is a dimethylated compound like Boladrol....I wonder how this is going to make liver values look.

Anabolic/Androgenic Ratio for Mentabolan:
910: 165-510

Superdrol:
400:20

Thats pretty dang high anabolic rating...this is rated compared to oral methyltestosterone. Double that of Superdrol (gotta compare dosing and androgen receptor binding though, remember) Androgenic rating is high as well, so great strength gains, potential androgenic sides like the libido stuff, hair growth or loss.

the cheque drops statement is what kept me away from thinking about trying it lol.  maybe that 18 year old kid asking for fighting advice could use some cheque drops.

anyone want to start placing paypal bets on how long this will last on the market before FDA comes in? 

mentabolan + tren = ultimate oral bodybuilder contraceptive

mentabolan + tren + superdrol = does it really matter? powerlabs nutrition is the only company dumb enough to make a combo like this and kellz2324 is the only member with that low of an IQ to actually try this product.
