For one... CEE doesn't need to be cycled, creatine is always in your body, taking it just increases your creatine stores.
Secondly, CEE is about as safe as protein... as long as you don't take like 100x the recommended doses.Workout journal

"Is it Necessary to Cycle Creatine?
Once again it is not necessary to do so but it can help. Your body has an internal equilibrium which you can swing in your favor for a duration of time, but over time that equilibrium will eventually swing back.
Meaning taking excess creatine for a short period of time (4-8 weeks) may temporarily increase your creatine phosphate stores but after awhile your body's feedback mechanisms will likely place some time of control on creatine phosphate storage to bring the levels back down to normal. This mechanism may be to decrease your body's own production of creatine or to downgrade the number receptors that admit creatine into the cell. Taking time off from creatine can help bring your body's equilibrium back into a state where in taking excess creatine will be beneficial again. I would like to make clear at this point that I know of no studies to back this theory up with, it could be right or wrong, I am just merely applying my knowledge of biochemistry to a frequently asked question to which there is no good answer to yet."Workout journal

CEE is fine for him, short term studies have proven that no harm can be done due to the facts that no short term effects can result to longterm effects, such as a steroid would cuase certain effects within weeks, basing that on long term effects they can tell, there are no short/long term side effects for creatine period.

My opinion is no. That's only because when you start taking supps at such a young age your more likely to take steroids and such because you want to get as big as fast as possible and your not an age when you can make an educated decision to about HGH and steroids.

A healthy person should have no problem with creatine year round.
