That food hinders absorption of the racemic mixture ALA.

Oral LA supplements are better absorbed on an empty stomach than with food: taking LA with food decreased peak plasma LA concentrations by about 30% and total plasma LA concentrations by about 20% compared to fasting (14). Additionally, the sodium salt of R-LA may be better absorbed than free LA, presumably because of its higher aqueous solubility (15).
