We all know that adequate healthy fat intake is required for optimal testosterone production. One of the most popular foods that men turn to for healthy fat intake is natural peanut butter. But with all the different brands, which is truly the most beneficial. Well the obvious starter is that you choose a Natural peanut butter. This still doesn’t narrow it down much, until now….
Monounsaturated fats are key to testosterone production. Therefore you want to choose the natural peanut butter with the highest amount of monounsaturated fat, and the lowest amount of polyunsaturated fat.
Jif Natural Peanut Butter was next on the list. They too do not have the mono/poly information on the label. So once again I made a call. This was a quick call and the nice woman got my my answer very quick. Per serving (2 Tbsp/32 grams) there was 4.5 grams of monounsaturated fat, and 8 grams of polyunsaturated fat.

Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter actually was one of very few that provided the mono/poly information. Saved me a call, thanks guys. But anyway, they dialed in the same as Jif. 4.5 grams monounsaturated and 8 grams polyunsaturated. This was an honest surprise to me. I figured the ratio would have been slightly better. This is the peanut butter that has to oil on top and you have to stir it. I don’t know, that process seemed more natural and a figured it would equate to better numbers. Never assume I guess.
