The participants were recruited 77 healthy adult persons aged between 20 and 50 who have BMI above 25kg/m^2 in this study. All subjects were randomly assigned to the Gentro F^{(R)} drinking group and non-drinking group. We were investigated about abdomen fat decreasing effect of Gentro F^{(R)}, distillate of pepper. Total fat area (TFA), subcutaeneous fat area (SFA) and visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area/visceral fat area ratio (SVR) has been assessed by obesity index (BMI, body fat percent, waist circumference), CT scan taken on the L4{sim}5 position, umbilicus level and blood analysis evaluated during 3 month. The obesity indexes were a little decreased in two groups. However, the waist circumference (WC) was decreased about 5% in drinking group after 3 month and there was significant difference in the change 2 and 3 between two group. TFA and VFA were significantly decreased in the drinking group compare to the non-drinking group (p<0.05) and in umbilicus and L4{sim}5 position, were 370.33{pm}92.30,;380.35{pm}97.64;and;114.90{pm}44.91,;101.99{pm}41.24, respectively. These result means that Gentro F^{(R)} is effective on abdomen fat decreasing. Total cholesterol were decreased without difference in both groups. Lipid factors (TG, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol) were decreased without significance. The mea surement of SVR taken on the L4{sim}5 position were more significantly correlated with obesity index that BMI was 0.787, body fat percentage was 0.754 than on the umbilicus level. The TFA and VSA was correlated with ALP, ASP, Albumin, Insulin and the SVR was correlated with the indexes of liver function and lipid factor found in the blood. Therefore, it is conclude that Gentro F^{(R)} drinking leads to a decrease in abdominal obesity by reducing waist circumference and visceral fat area.
