Interesting.

I don't know much about saturation, so I'm open to all the possibilities. One thing I'd like to know about saturation is if different molecules in a solution (say, proteins and sugars) affect the solution's saturation level of each or if they can double up. That is, if it takes 100 units of sugar to saturate a solution, would 50 units of protein and 50 units of sugar produce the same or a closely similar result? Or can it hold 100 units of sugar and 100 units of protein before crystalization of either substance?

This is a hard question to phrase, hope my query makes some sense.

My guess is that with a bunch of substances in a solution, i.e. proteins, carbs, some fat maybe, psilocybin, psilocin, baeocystin, etc. one of them would likely precipitate out first. Evaporating more solvent would get us to another threshold where more (and different) crystals might precipitate out, so eventually crystals of each substance capabale of crystalizing would form as the solvent evaporates. Maybe?

Damn, it's way too early in the morning for this brain stuff. Time to step back and take CoyoteMesc's advice and just eat 'em with a chaser.

This quest isn't about tripping, however, it's about chasing the Grail of the Pure Crystal that is a compulsion for some of us whackos moreso than a practical exercise.
