Cannabigerol is normally a minor constituent of cannabis.[3][5] During plant growth, most of the cannabigerol is converted into other cannabinoids, primarily tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD), leaving about 1% cannabigerol in the plant.[6] Some strains, however, produce larger amounts of cannabigerol and cannabigerolic acid, while having low quantities of other cannabinoids, like THC and CBD.[7]
Although cannabigerol is sold as a dietary supplement, its effects and safety for human consumption are undefined.[3]
