Is it possible that supplements can raise your body's PH levels?

I remember a friend tell me this awhile ago, but I never questioned it until I started feeling it personally. I notice after i take certain supplements (multi especially) that i feel very acidic and I display all the symptoms of such (frequent/burning urination, feeling anxious and jittery, etc.). I think this acidity also triggers a histamine reaction, that makes my eyes bloodshot and me feel allergic.

Does anyone more knowledgeable than me have an opinion on this?

I don't think that the mechanism of action here is a pH change. The symptoms you are having sound like several things. An allergic reaction is a possibility. Does the supplement contain caffeine or something like it? What supplement is it, exactly, anyway?
