Receiving a certain hormone treatment

Answer:

ONESTROGEN

Hint:

Think of a phrase that sounds like a popular supplement but actually describes undergoing therapy with a key female hormone.

Explanation:

The clue plays on the phrase "on estrogen," which describes someone undergoing estrogen hormone therapy. The word "receiving" hints at the prefix "on" (as in "on medication"), while "a certain hormone treatment" directly points to "estrogen." Together, they form "ONESTROGEN," blending the idea of being on the hormone with its name.
