Morphology
The noun phrase combines 'hormone' (chemical produced by glands) with 'production' (the process of producing), so its meaning — the process by which hormones are created and released — is directly derivable from the constituents. The sense of 'production' extends naturally from manufacturing to biological processes and this compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand the phrase.
Etymology
Hormone production gives a simple image: small glands in your body work like tiny factories that make hormone 'messages' and send them around the body. Production is the making and sending of those messages, so the phrase means 'the process of creating and releasing hormones'.
