I've read from u/MisterYouAreSoDumb that safranal is what acts on serotonin, whereas crocins does not. Perhaps different standardizations may improve or worsen PSSD, just like with St. John's Wort and hypericin vs. hyperforin.

The science is not super settled on it. We've done a LOT of testing on saffron now. We developed our own HP-TLC methods to tell exactly which part of the saffron plant was used in an extract, and what those components are. We found some interesting things that are helping us to develop even different extracts. This particular saffron is a more balanced one, with the serotonin effects noticeable. I think both crocins and safranal play a role in that.
