re: creatine before or after workout

So my kid is starting wrestling season. Anyone have any information or experiences with cycling on/off as he attempts to make weight? If he needs to drop some pounds before a match, how many days should he stop the Creatine to see a decrease in water weight? (He generally shouldn’t have to cut as he’s wrestling pretty close to his regular weight, but I’m more curious than anything).
Edit: I should add that I’m aware of the risk of a water/dehydration cut and use of Creatine.
Cycling was recommended in 4 - 6 week intervals when I was in HS almost 20 years ago now, but not sure how that translates to the demands of a wrestling season.
Hopefully someone with more insight weighs in & good luck to your son this season.

Is taking 1mg a day worthless? I’ve got 1mg pills that I’ve been throwing into my pre-workout.

not worthless but better to take 3g min, 5g optimal.

What does creatine do, exactly?
These days... empty your wallet. Not sure what happened, but the stuff about tripled in price in the past year.

Does powder vs pill matter for creatine? I make a protein smoothie before workout (breakfast) and a protein shake after workout. Was thinking of adding creatine to my day.

Just ordered some. Guess I'll just add it into my shakes or breakfast.
Thanks,

I just loaded up on a ton of creatine mono on Amazon. It was 50% off for the big jug
