Trenbolone Acetate vs Enanthate: Doses Are Not Equivalent, With Examples

Acetate ester has a hl of 2 days on average
Enanthate ester has a hl of 7 days.

Both need 5 hl to reach max concentration in blood

Let's pin 100mg TREN A eod. After 2*5=10 days you would have roughly 200mg TREN A in your body and being stable there as long as you continue pining 100mg eod. This translates to 200*0.865=175mg Trenbolone

Let's pin 100 TREN E eod.
After 7*5=35 days you would have roughly 680mg of TREN E in your body and being stable there as long as you continue pining 100mg eod. This translates to 685*0.707=480mg Trenbolone.

If the same schedule is kept for 50 days aka 25 administrations, that means that on day 50, after consuming 2500mg of each the circulating hormone will be roughly x2.5 times greater if you use the enanthate variant

Savvy?

Folks may be having a hard time with separating the depot (one compartment) from the circulating serum levels. For IM/SQ injection of AAS ester, it is the absorption of ester from depot and cleavage to free hormone that controls the rate of elimination. The effective elimination rate constant is the absorption rate constant. Actual elimination of free hormone much more rapid.

The effective rate of elimination (and hence the OUTPUT term) controls the circulating serum hormone level (ACCUMULATION term). Sometimes these plotters show mg on y-axis so may be useful to discuss the one compartment model and how the disposition of the drug depot affects the stable serum levels.

Steroid plotter is hot garbage. So many half lives are wrong on it. Many of their sources are questionable. The tren e source definitely gives no reason as to how they came up with 11 days. But then they put the other two enanthates, test e and primo e at 7 days. And I think it's wrong that they show tren e has having a longer half life than hex. Also half life can change based on the muscle injected, the bolus size, concentration, carrier oil, etc.
I don’t think this is really steroid plotter’s fault, if you try to fact sheets about every single drug e.g. testosterone cypionate you’ll check 5 sources and get 5 different answers.
 
When I see people compare dosing for Trenbolone Enanthate (Tren E) and Trenbolone Acetate (Tren A), they often focus on the ester weight. Tren E is about 70.7% active trenbolone, while Tren A is 86.6%. Based on this, they suggest multiplying your Tren A dose by 1.225 (86.6 / 70.7) to get an equivalent Tren E dose. However, this approach is flawed because it ignores the half-lives of the esters.

If both compounds are injected at the same dose and frequency, the one with the longer half-life (Tren E at 11 days vs. Tren A at 2 days) will build up to a higher average steady-state concentration in the body. This happens because a longer half-life means slower clearance, allowing more accumulation over time.

With all other factors equal (dose, bioavailability, dosing interval, etc.), concentration increases as half-life increases. For example, if one person injects 50 mg of Tren A daily and another injects 50 mg of Tren E daily, the Tren E user will take longer to reach steady state but will end up with more than five times as much trenbolone in their system.
No, the area under the curve will always be the total sum of unesterified trenbolone injected.
