Yes, it is an important distinction. It took me quite a while to shake off my own confusion. Damn common names. That's why chemists hate common names. That's why we invented IUPAC names.

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALNA) intake increases your requirement for alphalipoic acid (ALA).

The freaky fact is, I believe flax happens to be a source of both of them. If not, I'm still not completed purged of the confusion, myself.
